Reply-To:	djgpp-workers AT delorie DOT com

Hello.

So DJGPP 2.04 alpha 2 was supposed to be release in September. Well, it's
October now and it doesn't look like it's going to be out this month either.
So perhaps it's time to re-evaluate how we're doing the 2.04 release.

Some points:

* I don't have much spare time these days and when I do, I'm feeling less and
less inclined to spend it hacking on DJGPP. After sitting in front of a
computer at work all week, I'd rather not do that for the entire weekend.

* Not much work has been done on DJGPP in general recently.

So I'm wondering if we should bugfix what we have and push the nmalloc and C99
maths stuff into DJGPP 2.05 (whenever that will come out). Then we could
release 2.04 faster.

Maybe I'll do more as the days get shorter and the nights get longer here in
the UK...

It worries me that few bugs have been reported in DJGPP 2.04 alpha 1. AFAICR
only one or two bugs have been reported. Maybe people just aren't using it.

Are people using DJGPP much these days? Is it dying out?

Bye, Rich =]
