Tangentially related, are all the maintainers/contributors going to get notice of which version of the software is planned to be in the 1.0 release prior to the final? I think doing this would be a good idea to avoid possible misunderstandings of what's stable, what isn't, what versions should be included, and what preliminary or debug version perhaps should be avoided. Seems like cheap insurance that everyone is on the same page. For example, EMM386 2.20 is the last version referenced on website, but 2.21 appears to be superior based on user feedback -- assuming all the EXEPACK and Qemu changes made post-28th are the version of choice for final distribution, as you said you thought they would be best to include in FreeDOS 1.0's release. Pre-hard freeze dates get you back into the 2.1x range. The pending 1.0 release has opened floodgates of feedback. I've probably received more bug reports in the past two weeks than I have in the past two years. I imagine other developers who are still actively modifying or supporting software changes might want or need to know the final expected status, as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
