I retract that then partly, I did not know 1.5 had regressions over 1.4.
I never meant to "sell" regression fixes as new features.
Bob, that's really not fair! The reason 1.4 didn't do extra C++ and
f77 tests was because it only supported C!!! The multi-language-branch
merge was the driver for bumping the release number to 1.5 -- a mere
2.5 years ago.
Regardless, for existing C language users (the only language that 1.4
claimed to support), the new behavior was clearly a "regression" in
1.5.
It did not take Albert long to submit a patch to fix the problem but
since 2.0 was right around the corner, fixing the problem was
postponed to 2.0.
