I didn't mean to stop you. I just pointed out that there are regressions, and that I don't think it's a good idea to release with (significant) regressions. But if you disagree, it's not a big concern to me. :-) Anyway, the regressions are still there. Although we're closer to fixing them: - I fixed one of the known problems with LVM/RAID, but others (2, I think) remain. - Apple hardware still won't boot, but Pavel has put quite an effort in tracing this and IIRC he's very close to a fix. Besides, I'm afraid I tell everyone to use CVS rather than 1.95, since 1.95 has much worse problems that affect a wider audience; the ones I fixed in my first commit (ignore 1st, 2nd breaks all udev users, 3rd breaks all users without floppy drive): 2006-09-14 Robert Millan * util/i386/pc/grub-install.in: Skip menu.lst when removing /boot/grub/*.lst. * util/i386/pc/getroot.c: Don't recurse into dotdirs (e.g. ".static"). * util/i386/pc/grub-mkdevicemap.c: Make sure the floppy device exists before adding it to device.map. So perhaps it's a good idea to release 1.96 with known regressions after all. -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call! What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
