Yes there was the original news item - but nothing about the problems |
| 21 |
this caused, and the back and forwarding which is causing me grief. It |
| 22 |
is only switching targets, but when you have problems and decide to |
| 23 |
remove 3.6 and recompile, then having to go through it all again |
| 24 |
without proper information it has impact. A news item is supposed to |
| 25 |
give information ... I am not criticising the changes itself (sh.. |
| 26 |
happens), but being left in the dark about it. |
