Now it's looking like we won't make Sept, but my original "by the end of the year" still looks reasonably safe. =8^) Actually, IMO if we weren't trying to make this the big 1.0, pan has been stable enough for several releases to make it a "stable" release in the old pre 0.15 line. However, we /do/ want a /very/ stable 1.0 as it's a HUGE milestone, and it /does/ appear we are getting very close. =8^) I did see another bug in 0.113 that reoccurred a couple times, but am experiencing difficulties getting a good test case, and suspect 0.114 may have fixed it in any case. The problem was with multiple uuencoded attachments -- I'm not sure if it was multiple attachments or just uuencoded attachments. Anyway, pan was seeing and decoding them (if images) to display, but was only /saving/ one of the attachments, if asked to save them. I had the opposite happen as well -- multipart posts with single attachments that pan was screwing up the save of, but if I saved the text-articles to a scratch dir, uudeview could decode them properly. I'm not sure if that was a different manifestation of the same bug or a different one. Anyway, I've not seen it with 0.114 yet and was trying to get an appropriate test-case before that, so we'll see if 0.114 does it or not and go from there, I guess. It's frustrating when the bug can't be properly defined and a test case demonstrated. =8^( -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
