This break was unintentional, but at this point 2.16 is really *very* old. I'm only keeping up support for it out of sympathy with people on RHEL6. PyGTK doesn't have any way to only enable symbols in version X, so there's no easy way to check for this; the best way is to have a few people running Meld from git on older systems. I do try to respond when people yell. Anyway, I've fixed this issue in current git. Thanks for letting me know. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
