Re: What libgcj version should I use?


Thanks for the info about the proper version of libgcj to use.  My
point, of course, is that this information ought to be on the
dowload.html web page.  If anyone with control over the web page is
listening, that's my suggestion.

This is a contradiction of what is on the web page today.  It says,
"The most current offical release of libgcj is 2.95.1.  It's broken.
Don't use it."  No allowance that it might be a reasonable choice for
someone.

While the web page does talk a lot about the CVS version, a CVS
version is usually something used only by developers.  Since it's
apparently the normal thing to download and use in the case of libgcj,
there ought to be a statement to that effect.
