Sadly, I really, really wanted to clean up the *ENORMOUS* number of warnings that are spewed by all versions of GCC after 6.0 (my system now uses GCC 8, which is even more crazy with the warnings) before the next release. Some of them are even errors that could cause buffer overruns, others are just annoying nitpicks. But the level of noise from an Xastir build on any modern distro with a recent gcc is insane. This was a gripe I received from some users and package managers right before the LAST release, and I was unwilling to hold that release up for that reason. But I started working on it right after the 2.1.0 release. Unfortunately, it is a herculean effort and every time I think I have something cleaned up a new version of gcc comes out and spews even more. I started working alphabetically (in the order that make processes them) and had it completely free of warnings from gcc6 in all files from the ones starting with "a" all the way up to maps.c before I ran out of time last year and put it on the shelf. And now that there has been a huge burst of cleanup activity, I dusted it off and tried to get back to it, and those files all throw NEW warnings from gcc8. At this point my cleanup-warnings branch is basically no better than the current master branch when it comes to warnings from gcc8. I'm toying with the idea of just abandoning it and starting over from scratch. If we want to release again after we stabilize a little, I'd be OK with it, but I really doubt I'll be able to get the warning issue in hand anytime this month. Unless, perhaps, someone would like to join in the fun and we could divide up the work. > On Fri, Apr 19, 2019 at 10:52 AM Jason Godfrey <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hello. > > > > Do people think we are about due for a new release?
