Well I took 22nd as release as I wanted to bring it as Christmas-present and I didn't want to spend too much time over Christmas (I'm also not at home for 2 or 3 days), so if it's necessary to delay, then we may do it, but when perhaps 1.6.0 will be released next year. For the 1st issue there is already a patch, for the second it's mainly a conflict of *personal* preference, Timos pp has been commited, but Dereks is a different, mine is somewhere in the middle, so it's very difficult what to do, as the discussion is mostly not rational. Plus it mostly applies only for enter-exit mode and a version with old behaviour is on the ML, which can be posted to the wiki, too. So at the moment I don't see a reason for delay.

Well, it will require librep 0.90.4, which is not yet released, but since it's just a RC I'll release it anyway. Chris > > With best regards, > Teika (Teika kazura) >
