Are there performance issues if the patch is not applied, or does the patch essentially just remove the worrisome log messages? From the commit message, it sounds like the latter. >> >> Thanks for all the fine work in putting together this latest release. > > > I am wondering whether you are ironical, a new release should happen > shortly to fix all the issues which were forgotten. No, I'm being sincere. In hindsight, I can see how you might have taken my comment the wrong way, so I apologize for not being more clear. I do think you all have put a lot of fine work into this latest release, despite the issues that may have worked their way into it. I realize that sometimes making a release is the only way to get code thoroughly tested, so I think what has transpired is is pretty reasonable, in my view. I do want to express my thanks for the work you and others do to keep Xenomai moving forward. I don't take it for granted. Happy new year, -Jeff
