From 24d706e40bbffb7e8a13a1e28cbfe435836a8762 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Noel Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2010 02:11:02 +0000 Subject: Add the warning about the regression in 1.3 that's carried over into 2.0. Since the problem has a viable workaround, it was not deemed worth delaying the 2.0 release. --- src/Announce.txt | 9 +++++++++ src/RELEASE.txt | 9 +++++++++ 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/Announce.txt b/src/Announce.txt index ae57133..b2eea5a 100644 --- a/src/Announce.txt +++ b/src/Announce.txt @@ -26,6 +26,15 @@ RELEASE 1.2.0.d20100117 - Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:26:59 -0800 since last release.
