Hey Max!

This was unexpected. Good thing we were ready for it ... sort of.

A little early but I'll take it.. :)

Hey Alan!

A little early but I'll take it.. :)

Traditionally it is released at the start of August. This is the first time I've seen it earlier than that.

Looks to be working and no breakages like I saw when upgrading to gcc-4.1.0 recently. So far only mplayer/mencoder is a no-show but not because of glibc. On the plus side, mpv is fantastic on the linux terminal using libdrm. I haven't seen that working as good since fbdev on a matrox g200 which is probably still the best simply because of changing resolution on the linus terminal on-the-fly. Those were the days. :::sigh:::

Life is good,
Maurice

Hey Benny!

not on gentoo yet

Not on any distribution yet that I know of.

only 2.39 stable here

Shouldn't be too long given that Andreas K. Hüttel, signing himself as a Gentoo Linux developer, gave the official announcement of the release as well as uploaded the source for 2.40 to ftp.gnu.org.

Life is good,
Maurice

Why doesn't this surprise me? They appear to be ahead of the curve when compared to most - if not all - the other distributions.

Life is good,
