[hpoj-devel] preparing for 0.7

[<pa...@rc...>]

Hi,

I've checked into CVS all of the code changes that I needed to make and that
others have sent me, so I'm close to being ready to release 0.7.

I would like to wait a few more days to see if we can resolve the problem
Robert reported about printing on 2.2.16-SMP, since 0.7 is supposed to fix
problems like this.  If it turns out that upgrading to 2.2.17 fixes the
problem, then maybe I'll just document the issue and release if there isn't
an easy fix.  My goal is to release this by next weekend if possible.

In the meantime, it would be appreciated if some people could try out the
latest CVS source and let me know if there are any problems, particularly
with the new PRINT-HOWTO, xojpanel, or changes to the kernel-mode drivers.
Those who have already downloaded from CVS and applied patches may need to
delete the modified trees and download a fresh copy, because the "cvs update"
command may get confused when it's trying to merge updates into locally
modified files.  For convenience I added links to the CVS homepage
(http://www.cvshome.org), where one can learn more about using CVS.

I will also try to test with 2.4.0-test on a uniprocessor PC to see if I can
reproduce the slow-scan problem that was previously reported.  If anybody
else can confirm that that is or isn't a problem, that would be nice too.

David
