I second this proposal by Phil. It seems to me that this is the most reasonable outcome, given the current situation. This means that global gets updated to the latest version, with a NEWS message stating that htags functionality has been removed and that users that care about htags should install global5 instead. Ron, you haven't replied to this proposal yet. Can you state your opinion regarding this? Thanks! -- Regards, Marga
