3 0.6.8-r1 was masked, and has some crazy bugs, that this stuff is not usable
4 for an 'enduser'. If you select an 'working directory', the last character of
5 the path get lost. You have to create a workspace, select there a working
6 directory, add the last character by hand....

8 OkOk, as long as this stuff is masked, no problem. BUT: Upstream has released
9 a new version with this bug fixed. Why went the buggy version stable? And the
10 new with the bug fixed version is masked? That make no sense to me.

12 Can somebody explain that?

14 Thx, <earny>
