Hi, I don't recall getting any replies about the update and I didn't push for it. I haven't done any work towards 0.95.6. I did try it once but as I recall I just didn't have the willpower to go through all the patches to see which ones are still needed to make it work. I also haven't used WindowMaker for a while now.
