Hi cliff,

now that 1.38 introduced big balancing changes and 1.39 will again do so, I am wondering when will we get the next Linux upgrade. I am still at 1.35.

At least challenges will be completely different for 1.35 people compared to 1.39 people…

Is it a packaging problem? Don’t know if I could help, I am familiar with quite a few build systems =:-)

And now there’s a version 1.40 out for Windows, while the Mac (and I presume Linux) are still sitting at 1.35, and Cliff hasn’t replied with so much as a single word to any queries about this in more than a month.

Cliff, seriously, are you just ignoring the non-Windows users and hoping that we’ll go away? If not, then any idea of what the issue is that is delaying or preventing the other builds from being done would be better than the complete absence of information we have had lately. (And maybe there is even something we could do to help.)
