I generated the files that are needed for a GUI and back release. I don’t have the means to generate the release itself. It would be creat if somebody (Richard or Ivan) could do that right after the base release. I ran into an issue with generating the NEWS and ANNOUNCE files for GUI (on back this worked as expected). Perhaps somebody could look into that? I had to run the makeinfo command manually for these files. It also looks like makeinfo did change the bullet character and a few more. But as the new format looks nicer I kept it.
Cheers, Fred
