1.99n notes



	
	(I somehow haven't recieved any executor messages lately - I 
resubsribed yesterday though.)

	I haven't spent much time with 1.99n, but I already have a couple 
of thoughts :

	1.  When will the SVGAlib version be completed and released?  It 
looks pretty close to hackathon time now...

	2.  I noticed that in 1.99n, the `animation' technique is now 
used all the time with the new blitter.  It makes things a bit slower 
under X-Windows, I'm afraid, than the cached approach used in 1.99m.

	3.  Pagemaker 4.2 still dosen't work - this time any attempt to 
place a file will segfault right away. :(  I did notice the bug report 
listed in bugs.199n though...

	4.  What is the current release schedule?  Will there be a 1.99o 
before the hackathon?

	5.  Will there ever be any `alpha' releases or snapshots?  It 
seems we all have to wait a while for new full releases to come out - 
which are beta quality.  It would be nice to see more frequent releases - 
even if they're buggier.  (as in 1.99n1, n2, n3) - the ones without 
numbers being stabilized betas.

	Good luck - and Executor 2.0 looks like it will be really cool 
when it comes out!  Keep it up!

	- Chad
