These intermediate releases are not well tested by ARDI, but we think they fix some important bugs in 1.99n so please try them out if you are bold. Note that we've switched to a sane naming scheme for the BleedingEdge releases; "vesafix.zip" would have been called "dos199n3.zip" under the new scheme. Here is an excerpt from the README in the BleedingEdge directory describing the relevant bug fixes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dos199n4.zip Upgrade from E/D 1.99n to E/D 1.99n4 (intermediate release) THIS IS FOR DOS USERS ONLY! This upgrade fixes: - Some video boards only allow 4 bit graphics with VBE 2.0 drivers. - Cycling through Desktop Textures patterns causes a crash. - Cursor "paints" the screen. - Executor crashes right away under OS/2 Warp. - Executor leaves junk on screen when changing # colors w/alt-shift-5. - Some serious printing problems. - BBEdit Lite 3.0 Preferences panel crashes. - Some problems with accessing CD-ROMs (not tested much yet) and possibly other disk drives. linux199n4.gz Upgrade from E/L 1.99n to E/L 1.99n4 (intermediate release) THIS IS FOR LINUX USERS ONLY!
