1.99q5 is out
ftp://ftp.ardi.com/pub/BleedingEdge contains subdirectories for DOS,
Linux and NEXTSTEP, each of which has a file that can patch 1.99q to
1.99q5.
ftp://vorlon.mit.edu/pub/ardi/BleedingEdge should soon have all the
new patches. The other mirrors will probably take a day or two to
catch up.
It turns out that 1.99q2 broke many applications, including Risk and
Excel 4's charting ability. 1.99q5 fixes this and a few other
regressions. Quicken 6 is also now limping.
There are a few other bug-fixes thrown in, but this update is by no
means supposed to rectify most of the bugs we've heard about recently.
Some of the fixes that I can remember are: Bachman works;
Executor/Linux no longer consumes all the CPU time when the Mac
program is idle (Executor/NEXTSTEP still does, though) and Tex-Edit's
printed output is no longer clipped to the top two thirds of the page.
It may appear like we're not being particularly responsive of late,
but that's because we're tied up with two major undertakings: fixing
the floppy disk problems under Executor/DOS and putting together the
layout of our first beta CD-ROMs. Once we start getting beta CD-ROMs
out the door we'll go back to trying to fix bugs a little quicker
(although we'll probably be presented with still more bugs -- it's a
tough battle we're fighting).
As always, thanks for your patience.
