sure. i was busy 24/7 with mplayer development and with my job in the rest. (and still using amc 4.1.35-a12pre (yes a12 was never finished) on all my hosts) i didn't even know about being a big difference between 4.5.x and 4.6. i've seen 4.6.0rcX announce recently but i thouht it's just 4.5.xx (xx == too big number) renamed :) > Maybe you are Kevin Mitnick? :-) not (yet) :) > Go to www.google.com and enter "Midnight Commander homepage".

I hope to release 4.6.0 very I'm downloading (cvs co mc) CVS right now. I think it will take some time to re-learn the mc code structure, i haven't seen it since years... I thought that 4.5.xx is the current version, and its bugs are not fixed there since years because no one develops mc nowdays or they're all working on the gmc part :) It is the reason why i planned to fork or start a new project from scratch. It's amazing to see that it's still under development and the goal is again making a stable bugfree console tool instead of yet another winblows-exploder or win-commander clone for gnome/X.
