# Summary of pending email for GNU sharutils 4.3.1.
# Last updated: Thursday, June 7, 1996.

# Below can be found what Franc,ois collected during his time.
# I haven't looked close enough to say what is obsolete meanwhile.
# The following few points are what I have not done but will probably
# do in sharutils-5.0.

- use chksum instead of md5sum.  Stephen Gildea proposed this and
  he is probably right.  chksum is standardized and more often found
  on non-GNU systems.

- change mail-files to use multiple To: lines instead of having a
  loop.  Suggested by Tom Tromey.

#
# You may use this BACKLOG file for checking if I still have an
# unprocessed report of yours, or just to have a feeling of how
# this package is evolving (or not :-).  Please be kind enough to
# check here before reporting again a problem that is not solved
# in this release.
#
# When I will process a report from you, you may reasonably count
# on the fact that I will give you some feedback at that time.
# By merely re-sending a report I already have, you are just putting
# more burden on my shoulders, and surely not making things go
# any faster.
#
# I could of course withhold a release until all reported problems
# are solved.  This would not always be practical, nor fair for
# the community, when some of all reported bugs are solved indeed.
# So I have to cut the pear in halves, draw a line somewhere, and
# still make releases once in a while.
#
# About the principle of the BACKLOG file itself, my opinion is that
# users deserve to know where maintenance stands for what they use.
# Ignorance is sometimes more comfortable, but does not change facts.
# If commercial companies were indeed publishing their own internal
# bug lists, I think you would feel more secure with GNU software!
