- We're definitely bypassing 1.99l for Linux. There are just too many
- serious bugs out there (mostly in the browser) for us to release E/L
- 1.99l. I STRONGLY suggest DOS users either run with "-nobrowser", or
- use the Browser only to launch applications, and then use HFS_XFer
- from within some application other than the Browser to do your file
- manipulation.
-
- Right now we are working hard on fixing these 34 bugs (you can see
- them in detail by sending e-mail to "query-pr@ardi.com" with a subject
- line containing just the numbers you want to see, preceded by "--full"
- if you want more than just a summary of the bug):

- PR #751 Executor/DOS has trouble with 2 floppy systems
- PR #883 empty a: (5 1/4" floppy) causes Executor grief
- PR #946 Ctrl appears not to work
- PR #801 various early exits cause Executor to dump
- PR #795 Faust shouldn't require hard reboot to run E/D after NEXTSTEP
-
- Much thanks to Ernst and Emilio for giving nice reproducible reports
- that shall allow us to get these bugs fixed quickly. We will release
- 1.99m after we get a significant number of these bugs fixed and get to
- a point where a small amount of extra work no longer results in a
- fixed bug. We'll also do some retesting and make sure we haven't
- broken anything else.
-
- Exactly when we'll be done, we don't know, but we'll be working night
- and day on this, since some of the 1.99l browser bugs are much worse
- than we realized.
