Hi,

There is a 1.4.1 pre-release patch available at
http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/prereleases/patch-1.4.0.1.gz

I'd encourage distributors to ship this because there have been quite
a few fixes since 1.4.0.
I'm looking at some more patches and bugs before releasing 1.4.1.

Thanks to Michael Karcher for a lot of bug fixing in the CPU emulator.

Bart

overview of changes:

* Bug fixes, especially pertaining to the CPU emulator that is used in the
 x86-64 port (also in combination with Xen), and for DPMI on x86-64.
* Better LFN support.
* Optionally prompt if the keyboard layout can't be auto-detected.
* Some things previously done by the dosemu script are now done by the
  dosemu.bin binary (X font locations, terminal warnings,
  DOSDRIVE_D environment variable handling).
* Handle UTF-8 in window titles.
* Improved copy and paste of text to and from DOSEMU.
* Avoid problems with the dotless i as used in Turkish and some other
  languages.
* Reduce lines of output in config.sys, autoexec.bat, blaster, and the
  banner, so everything fits on 25 lines.
