Deek, We had been planning on a release of it for a few weeks, but simply didn't have the time to make it until recently. My apologies if releasing it under the original name has caused some confusion, but we actually did think that the project was unmaintained for the reasons that have been previously stated. We weren't trying to hijack anything.
As I said to you in IRC earlier... we can discuss a name change.

Backbone's Terminal component is the original application -- Alex moved it there and switched it to team maintenance, just as I did with Preferences and TextEdit, and Nicolas Roard never got around to doing with HelpViewer. Being the main maintainer of Backbone right now, it seems pretty stupid to me for the original software to be called a fork while another modified version is claimed as the only successor. It's particularly troublesome since you knew that I was working on new stuff for Backbone (including bug fixes and new features for Terminal) BEFORE you guys released your "0.9.5". THAT is what is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, that you seem to be trying to hijack my project intentionally. -- | Jeff Teunissen -=- Pres., Dusk To Dawn Computing -=- deek at d2dc.net | GPG: 1024D/9840105A 7102 808A 7733 C2F3 097B 161B 9222 DAB8 9840 105A | Core developer, The QuakeForge Project http://www.quakeforge.net/ | Specializing in Debian GNU/Linux http://www.d2dc.net/~deek/ _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
