21.4 Release postponed to March 15

Due to personal circumstances, day job, and poor personal time management, I've badly missed the deadline for the last major status report (originally scheduled for February 15) before the 21.4 release. Since I won't get it finished for a day or so yet, this entails a delay in the release. My apologies for the delay. The new release target is March 15, 2001. As far as I know, there are no development problems warranting a delay. In the last couple of days, Martin Buchholz provided two patches and Matt Tucker a third that took care of the three showstoppers I know of offhand. However, my knowledge at the moment is not as complete and accurate as it should be. (Management holding up the developers ... sound familiar?) I need to put out a status report, and get the developers' responses, with some lead time before the release. Bill Perry is still committing stuff to the separate GTK branch. Pending a status report from him on the merge and my investigation of the build reports, I still hope to propose merging that code back to the release branch. So it is important to continue building --with-gtk=no and submit build reports on all platforms (not just GTK-capable ones). -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
