[CinePaint-announce] Release 0.17 is out - but be careful

[Robin R. <rower@MovieEditor.com>]

Hi. I've released 0.17, despite it being somewhat broken, so other
developers can work on it. I won't be available until the end of next week.
You're on your own for now. (This seemed like a better choice than to sit on
the code for another two weeks.)

FYI, the bug is most likely in plug_in.c. I tried not to disturb the *nix
wire protocol code there (conditional defines), but the plug-in comms stuff
is fragile. It only needs to be nudged slightly to cause a problem.
Debugging that code was a significant effort in the Windows port.

*** RELEASE NOTES ***

WARNING: *nix users will find this a broken release -- for developers only!
Windows users should be mostly ok, but may find new bugs. Users of 0.16-3
(Windows only) should go to 0.17. Film Gimp 0.16 *nix users should wait of
0.17-1. Do not release rpm or deb packages of 0.17.

This release unifies the Windows and *nix code. There is a bug in the *nix
code that it crashes after loading the first plug-in.  This version is being
released now so that developers can get in sync with the new codebase.

Cheers,

Robin
