Hi, everyone,
as I warned you yesterday, I've now branched off a 4.0 stable branch. It's
essentially the same as 4.0.2 except for Ethan's patch to fit.c. The
branch is tagged to the name branch-4-0-stable. This branch should be
considered stable, i.e. only *necessary* changes go in there. New
features strictly on the trunk version only, please.
The head revision of the trunk I renamed to 4.1 patchlevel 0 to reflect
that. Note that this marks a change to the Linux way of release
numbering: even minor is stable, odd minor is the work-in-progress code.
The 4.1 trunk revision is now ready for all those patches y'all have been
aching to put in ever since the release turned from a dream into an actual
plan, or longer.
To avoid us getting in each other's way massively, I suggest Ethan goes
first, since his list of patches ready to throw in seems the most
massive... Once those are out of the way, we'll have to discuss which
of the other patchsets available at SourceForge we want to merge in
as they are, and which need further consideration.
"Gentleman, start your engines."
May the madness ensue --- *now*.
