- Subject: NN 6.3 - Official patch #5
- Keywords: nn patch

-
- This is patch #5 for nn release 6.3.
-
- The imfamouos database corrupted error introduced in patch #4 is fixed
- by this patch. The fix is the same as the interrim patch I posted to
- comp.sources.bugs as soon as I fixed it, but at that time I had
- expectations to issue a larger official patch within a week or so, so
- I didn't make it an official patch then (patchlevel.h was not updated
- by the interrim patch).
-
- Since then the size of the patches since patch #4 has grown to about
- 300 kbyte, and it has really started to look like a new release rather
- than just patches. Therefore, I have chosen to reissue the interrim
- patch as official patch #5, and announce it to be the last official
- patch to nn rel. 6.3.
-
- The other patches I have on stock now may be issued as patch #6 if I
- get enough requests for them (bug fixes and several new features).
- But they are not really mandatory to use nn. If you want them, drop
- me a note.
-
- Since this is the last official patch to nn rel. 6.3, there is no need
- to apply it if you have already applied the interrim patch and are
- satisfied with the current functionality of 6.3. However, if you do
- it anyway (to get the version identification 6.3.5 right - and to be
- able to apply possible future patches), you should revert the interrim
- patch before applying this patch to avoid problems.
