Hi, It has been more than 3 months since 0.163 and I would like to push out a new release end of the week. There have been more than 45 commits and various bugs fixed. Some of which have already been backported to some distros. Lets try to get any pending patches in on Wednesday and do a release on Friday after some extra testing. Don't worry if any patches don't make it for this release. We will do another release in ~3 months again.
I don't intent to do a "portable patch" for this release. If you did use the portable patch for 0.163 please post your setup and any patches you depend on so we can include them in the regular release if possible. Thanks, Mark
