Re: [sigc] ANNOUNCE: libsigc++ 2.0.4

[Martin Schulze <martin-ml hippogriff de>]

Hi Murray!

The release notes do contain information about compatibility with MSVC  
and SUN FORTE including the correct versions (see "known issues").
I'll reformat the next release notes to put more emphasis on this.  
Obviously the information was not obvious enough ;)

Regards,

 Martin

P.S.: The gnome sysadmins installed my new ssh public key so I will be  
able to upload the 2.0.5 tarball.
