Anyone got anything else for me? At the moment I'm thinking of aiming for 0.42.1 by early next weak.
I'd just like to urge the devs to postpone their projects a bit and go through our burgeoning bug tracker. One of the best results of the slashdotting and the insane number of downloads is the healthy stream of bug reports. Let's take advantage of that to deliver a worthy 0.42.1.
At least, we need all help we can use to revise the reports and consolidate duplicates.
And here are my candidates for MUST FIX bugs for 0.42.1:
- Naturally, the open dialog crash on win98 - it's been
independently reported: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604306&aid=124706 1&group_id=93438
- the bug where installing 0.42 over 0.41 on Windows makes it crash
on start: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1247068&g roup_id=93438&atid=604306. To fix this the installer must uninstall previous version or simply clear all dlls from the installation directory.
The freezes and crashes on OSX - I assume these are already fixed?
The libgc dependency problem with RPMs - I assume it's already
fixed?
No, it only lead to other dependencies on my FC2 system, starting with a way too old glib here... Dependencies I assume that FC4 might fix, but FC4 is, IMNSHO, terminally busted. In about 10 installs on another machine here, it actually worked 3 times long enough to be destroyed utterly and totally by turning yum loose to fix all the stuff updated since the FC4-final was released. Those disks went out with the trash Wednesday morning. Lifes too short to fight losing battles like that.
- Probably some other of the reported crashes, which I haven't
figured out yet.
