/me votes for 4.6.2. As far as I followed the development, there's nothing really brand new huge or conceptual change that would make calling it 4.7 reasonable, it only contains plenty of small bugfixes. Being a maintainer of a distro what I see is that by now every Linux distribution that matters has switched to using UTF-8, and mc is amongst the really very very few packages that still need to be patched to work correctly in such environments. (I think mc is the only one where lack of utf-8 support is immediately seen by the users and makes it nearly unusable in such systems). Hence distros will still have to patch mc for UTF-8, just as they did with 4.6.1. It also implies that users won't be able to simply download and compile and use this brand new mc - they'll have to wait for their distributors to update the package, which probably don't happen immediately due to the work required on their side. So IMHO UTF-8 support out of the box is a must for the version named 4.7. -- Egmont _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
