When will mc-4.6.2 be released?

[Roland Illig <roland illig gmx de>]

Hi all, especially our project maintainers,

the release of a new MC version is long overdue. Also there has been 
some confusion concerning our version numbering scheme, as some 
distributions consider a version 4.6.1-pre3 to be higher than 4.6.1.

For these reasons I vote that the current Midnight Commander be released 
_this_ _month_, not as mc-4.6.1, but as mc-4.6.2. To avoid repeating 
those confusion, we should not announce those many release candidates. I 
think the next main releases should be 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, ... with 4.7.1, 
4.7.2, ... being the "release candidates".

By the way: NetBSD already has a current Midnight Commander 
(4.6.1-pre2b), and although mcslang does not work at all, it was easy to 
make it build and run, as there is also a `slang' package.

So don't be too afraid about bugs. Even the Debian people will manage 
the "undefined references" from the link editor.
