So far we have not been regarding 6.2 as ultra-urgent because we don't know of anyone who is really stuck with 6.0. Please let us know if you are in fact stuck.

I already mentioned that I really need large file support, and I'd add that I have some problems with profiling (segfaults, internal errors¹), both under 6.0 and 6.0.1. Is this known and/or fixed? And was there any answer to the original question:

The 'strange selectee 29' crash that you reported earlier is fixed in 6.2. I saw your '.hp file contains NULs' reoprt, but there's not much we can do without a test case, unfortunately. I've never seen this one myself. Are there any other profiling bugs that I missed? (apart from the 'entries field is zero' bug in SourceForge)?

When can we expect 6.2?

I can work e.g. the large file issue by using multiple files, but as it's going to be fixed RSN, I haven't bothered yet. An approximate schedule would be nice, I promise not to blame anybody if it doesn't hold. :-)

We're removing a lot of old/deprecated stuff in 6.2, so I want to be sure we haven't broken anything before doing the release. The best estimate I can give is 4-6 weeks, but it could be sooner if things settle down quickly. Cheers, Simon
