During setting up RPMs for OpenSUSE users, while I knew there'd been updates to the client code in GIT, it dawned on me just how much had been changed.
1.9.3 official client users were actually at a disadvantage compared to those of us who compiled the GIT code for the latest updates.
So with that in mind, I decided to push for an interim 1.9.4 release.
Interim? There were no plans to do another release for the current client. The intention was to move to the new gl2 code. However, work on that has progressed much slower than expected (a beta test was originally planned last June or so), and the GIT for the gl2 client hasn't had a change in over 5 months now.
Not a complaint, though I would like to see work on it continued, but stating facts as they currently stand.
And since the gl2 code is on such a holding pattern, it seemed only right to go ahead and make an interim 1.9.4 release, updating users to almost 22 months worth of updates, bugfixes, and tweaks.
In order to prove the case for making such a release, I went through all the GIT commits to the client since 1.9.3 was released and made a list of all the changes and fixes, and the more important bug fixes and internal upgrades. No easy task, but it was something to do while harving, heh.
And then, made the case for the update. You can see that, including the entire list of updates/changes/bugfixes I made, here:
