What I refered to was something like http://www.nedit.org/faq/sect_features.php#N593 I just like to see an nedit version with some of the over 80 patches in the tracker ;-) This naturally can't be a release expected to work stable on all the systems nedit works on. At least, I have only Cygwin and a single Linux distro to test on. > The problem I see is not lack of interest in coding features, but a lack > of interest in doing the release engineering. I think such interest normally comes from new features: 5.1 had a major upgrade of the regex engine, 5.2 introduced arrays in the macro language, 5.3 was mainly a bugfix release but also implemented a new help system (where Mark shortly reappeared), 5.4 had calltips and rangesets and 5.5 tabs, to mention just the main points from memory. Now, 5.6 has lots of fixes and I think it should be released as it is. Nobody said what still would be left to do minimally. Are there any bugs left that are really showstoppers?
