I sort of have a problem with this. Maybe the info is in the change logs?
Yes, you really should read the ChangeLog if you want anwers to such questions. Looks like 4.1.21 was stabilized to solve a security bug [1] [2].
up with 4.1.20 I think it must have been marked stable. Why did folks mark it stable and then completely remove it when 4.1.21 came along, but we continue to have older versions like 4.0.27?
Versions older than 4.1 are not affected by the security bug, so there was no need to remove them. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200608-09.xml [2] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142429 -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
