Hi all,
I plan to release v2.41.2, a stable maintenance release, next week.
The stable/v2.41 branch has been updated with relevant commits.
Suggestions and pull requests are welcome.
I may prepare v2.41.2-rc1 for translators this Friday. We usually
don’t do -rc builds for stable updates, but if there is demand from
translators, I can provide one.
Note that the large changes to the man pages (formatting, etc.) are
not included, as I’m not sure we can easily backport everything, and
it would also break translations.
The current log is below.
