1 Hi Prefix Users and Devs!

3 You probably have encountered mysterious failures recently on Linux, BSD,
4 Darwin and Solaris, either during bootstrap or during update, most likely
5 related to something like libintl, libiconv, or some ABI flags eventually.
6
7 It turns out that we had a mess in the profile inheritance "forest",
8 resulting in mysteries like bug#574822 [1], which should be fixed now.
9
10 That is, all the 71 (!) profiles eventually selected by bootstrap-prefix.sh
11 now have an overhauled inheritance tree, which should be available soon by
12 some mirror near you.
13
14 Please test carefully, I'm unable to run 71 different setups ;)
