Ahoi,
Just a heads up, as announced last week, we are in a commit freeze
effective since this morning on the 5.3 branch. If all goes according
to plan we will release RC3 this Thursday hoping for this release to
become the golden stable release. We will announce the end of the
commit freeze sometime during Wednesday.
As things look we will stick with re2c as is (including Dmitry's hack
to fallback to 5.2 behavior if the new mmap solution doesnt work).
Derick is close to having a full fix, but Derick is short on time to
really get out all the kinks this can also just get into 5.3.1.
Again a commit freeze means no commits to any part unless its clearly
a build fix or just touches README's. When in doubt ask Johannes (who
should be available again some time tonight).
regards,
Lukas Kahwe Smith
