There might be other hidden bugs/features/incompatibilities that we don't know yet :-) I would be really delighted if none is found, as the previous stable release was made nearly eight years ago. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
