Hi, I think gnome-dictionary 3.14.0 was released. It is tagged and a tarball exists, both in git and ftp. So I think 3.14.1 can be released alone. Regards, Juan. On Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 11:52 PM, Sriram Ramkrishna < sriram.ramkris...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > On Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 6:36 AM, Mich

Hi, Yes, I do! If you agree, I'll wait until Sunday to make that release. Right now I do not have any questions. I have never uploaded a tarball to the ftp, though. I will for sure let you know if I any question comes to my mind. Thank you! Regards, Juan. On Thu, 2014-10-09 at 08:36 -0500, Mi
