So, as you'll have seen, I didn't do a 2.3.5 this weekend. This was mainly because I was hoping to get to the bottom of <http://gna.org/bugs/?21272>, a Windows crash which is causing pain to at least one LT32 player. However, it's now looking likely that this might just be a Gtk version thing, so in fact the mere act of making a new release (presumably with a new Windows Gtk library) might make it go away. On the other hand, there are a whole pile of other Windows crashes in 2.3.4 that have come to light recently which don't look Gtk-shaped or like things we've already fixed. So we might want to hold out for fixes for some of those, possibly. If we're to have a 2.3.5 release this year, I think it'll have to be next weekend or the weekend after. _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
