Hi Fred, I agree we should do a gui release as soon as possible - if I tested correctly, the latest gui release 0.20.0 doesn't work the the latest base, 1.23.0. I would like to get the changes you suggest in (font rewrite and filter services), but on the other hand, I think doing a release soon

To scale this discussion down a bit. The only thing that currently stops you from using an older version of gcc. Is the GCC_VERSION variable in the Version file of base. I am not aware of any specific change that would deliberately break older compilers. It is just that we don't officially supp

Just noting that I've seen this email and I'll try to tackle the release this weekend. I'll of course validate what I'm releasing, and update -base if it's not done by then. I'll cut make, base, gui, back. I'm aiming to do it Sunday. On Sun, Mar 29, 2020 at 9:01 PM Niels Grewe wrote: > > On 28.
