I almost hate to ask this, but: Version 5.0.9?

[Bart Schaefer]

I know it hasn't been that long since 5.0.8 but we've fixed a bunch of crash
bugs and deadlocks.  Heck, the "case" wordcode problem is probably bad enough
by itself to warrant a new release.

There are a few of Oliver's patches, including those during the sourceforge
outage, that haven't been pushed yet, but otherwise the most significant
thing I can recall that hasn't been addressed is the probable POSIX getopts
incompatibility.

Counter-point would be that the new typeset behavior hasn't been in the wild
for very long.

I would say wait at least a few days for the $(( )) stuff? Those
patches looked a bit scary. And is the undo limit stuff sorted out? (I
haven't gotten around to actually testing git myself in a bit, just
looking over threads). Other than that, I can't think of anything.

I can confirm that the three $((…)) patches (771381c2 + dd8079e0 +
b3aa3b77 aka 35908 + 35910) work fine for me (against 5.0.8 as well as
during a short test with git HEAD).

		Kind regards, Axel

Sooner rather than later, anyway.  It would be good to wait until things
settle down after the outage.
