I'd like to make the 4.2.2 release now.
One of the most visible issues it should fix is the crash on exit.
My build of the current stable sources does appear to work properly
and teh crash no longer happens. Does anyone else still experience
the crash?
Thanks,
Not related to the exit crash, here's another one to consider before
release:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53137
I can't say this is a problem, and I can't point to any manifestation
of the color table being accessed prematurely. However, in doing
development here, every once in a while I'll have a crash at launch.
Knowing how difficult it is to debug rare-occurrence segfaults, I
wonder if it is easier to just fix the above code and see if the
launch crash goes away for me. If this were an issue, it'd be of the
sort where there is a race between the system setting up the color
tables and the GUI accessing them at launch.
The variable editor doesn't exist on the stable branch, so it won't be
part of 4.2.2.
I pushed the patch to default.
