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.

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 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 :)

"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. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64575 Sigmund
