The Release Announcement, source tarball, and Windows binaries for version 4.4.0 are now on SourceForge. Many thanks to everyone who helped to bring this major release to fruition. I'd particularly like to thank everyone who contributed to the final push to upgrade the Windows binaries to support not only an upgraded version of the old win terminal but also to include the new wxt terminal. Pour yourself a nice beverage of your choice and make a toast to our joint success. Things were held up for a few days to squish a last-minute but serious bug that only made itself apparent when tested on 64-bit linux [*]. I also made a pass over the web pages, but probably missed updating version numbers in various places. Let's give it a couple of days to propagate to mirrors before sending announcements to the world at large. cheers, Ethan <sf...@us...> [*] Although I have been using 4.4 and current CVS practically every day all along without problems, 4.4 keeled over and died when installed as the back end to a production web server. It didn't like the sanitized environment, and on a 64-bit system the dislike was fatal. The cause turned out to be the "too simple to hurt anything" change made a week ago that removed look-up of GECOS information in the password file. Once again I have learned that last minute changes, no matter how simple, are a really bad idea. |

Thanks to Ethan for the push for release! > The below remained in the Readme.Windows in gp440win32.zip > Note that this package does not support the wxt terminal. If you > The above should be deleted. > This is a packaging mistake. Ooops, my fault. I was editing Readme.Windows from both zip files before the merge but copied back not the final one. Also there is typo 'of eadh runtime' => 'of each runtime'. --- PM |

Hello --- Petr Mikulik > wrote: > Also there is typo 'of eadh runtime' => 'of each runtime'. I also found it. In my 4.5(cvs) distribution, the corrected README.Windows is included. Anyway thank you for informing me it. Regards Tatsuro -------------------------------------- VANCOUVER 2010 PARALYMPIC GAMES News http://pr.mail.yahoo.co.jp/para/ |
