I am going to commit the changes up to Release Candidate 3 to the
release-21-4 branch, and roll tarballs.
There remain known problems in MS Windows runtime and GTK builds. MS
Windows is "supported" so I will delay upload and release another day
or so in hopes that some fix will appear. GTK is still considered
experimental, so I won't wait for fixes on that, but postpone them to
21.4.5. AFAICT none of the recently reported problems on Unix
platforms were introduced by 21.4.3 -> 21.4.4 changes; they have been
present all along in this series. No delay is warranted for them, as
far as Unix is concerned I believe this release is strictly better
than 21.4.3.
This almost surely means that there will a 21.4.5 in the latter half
of August after I return from the U.S. With Ben's endorsement of some
kind of mouse-track fix for 21.4, I'll try to get the patch that
Adrian is advocating into 21.4.5.
Therefore, people who are building from the 21.4 series on GTK/GNOME
and MS Windows may prefer to build from the 21.4.3 tarballs or using
the r21-4-3 CVS tag, rather than using the release-21-4 CVS tag, until
the problems with those platforms are resolved. In 21.4.5. :-)
