    That is a surprise. I was looking for that sometime next week.

    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.

    Hey Nicholas!

    Not on any distribution yet that I know of.

    Archlinux :)

    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,
