Wary/Racy 5.2.91 (5.3RC2)

This is the announcement for 5.2.90 (5.3RC1):

Download 5.3RC2 from here:

The only known issue for now is ffmpeg. It was reported that ffmpeg lacked network support, which is needed under certain circumstances by Pmusic, so I recompiled it and that was in 5.3RC1. However, then someone reported that ffmpeg did not work for X11-grab (although it was compiled with that enabled) -- I asked that person to install the older ffmpeg to confirm that X11-grab worked with that. However, that person did not respond in time, so I have reverted ffmpeg anyway. That is, 5.3RC2 has the older compile of ffmpeg.

Forum thread for feedback (page 14 of thread):

Everything has to be pretty much frozen at this point. Essential bug fixes only.
I know that language translation can be taken up a notch, however consider the current situation as frozen, until after 5.3-final.

x11-grab
x11-grab seems to difficult to compile .

I also detected, that though after ./configure had run and showed x11-grab enabled, it did not work .

Detected that also at some of shinobar's ffmpeg's .

Could only enable it '--with-pic' ...

Size matters :)

x11grab option
I got x11grab working with this ./configure:

pClock
It might be by purpose, but I saw that pClock is missing in Wary, so I just would mention.

pClock and pTiming has 2 different targets and are not meant to be 2 of a kind.
