I didn't mean to stop you. I just pointed out that there are regressions, and
that I don't think it's a good idea to release with (significant) regressions.
But if you disagree, it's not a big concern to me. :-)
Anyway, the regressions are still there. Although we're closer to fixing them:
- I fixed one of the known problems with LVM/RAID, but others (2, I think)
remain.
- Apple hardware still won't boot, but Pavel has put quite an effort in
tracing this and IIRC he's very close to a fix.
Besides, I'm afraid I tell everyone to use CVS rather than 1.95, since 1.95 has
much worse problems that affect a wider audience; the ones I fixed in my first
commit (ignore 1st, 2nd breaks all udev users, 3rd breaks all users without
floppy drive):

* util/i386/pc/grub-install.in: Skip menu.lst when removing
/boot/grub/*.lst.
* util/i386/pc/getroot.c: Don't recurse into dotdirs (e.g. ".static").
* util/i386/pc/grub-mkdevicemap.c: Make sure the floppy device exists
before adding it to device.map.
So perhaps it's a good idea to release 1.96 with known regressions after all.
