This gives us about a month (till the end of September) for final testing, bug reporting, fixing, updating translations and other related tasks - the last two are to be used by translators to update the MC translation. I hope that everyone interested will participate in this process so that we can finally release a new version.

I am going to wait till the end of this week for your suggestions on how to use the remaining three weeks and make a plan according to them, then I'll publish the first pre-release on Monday. This reminds me that we have another problem to solve -

Please include the following patches:

[PATCH] "'a' and 'b' are the same file/directory" message box needs "Abort" button.
http://www.mail-archive.com/mc-devel@gnome.org/msg05524.html

and

Fwd: [PATCH] make old escmode key timeout configurable
http://osdir.com/ml/gnome.apps.mc.devel/2004-10/msg00212.html

Attached versions of these patches apply cleanly to 1.6.1.

Thanks,
