    This makes two that are up to speed, both of which have fidonet msg'ing capabilities. It still matters to me.

    That depends on what you consider "up to speed" (note the gcc version above). ;)

    Yeah, yeah, whatever. I noticed the first time you posted it. Only about 48 hours difference so I can't imagine it being all that different. Is it? ;-)

    That's funny, I posted it because I had just noticed. ;)

    .. and no, I doubt it's much different. Hopefully just a spelling error in a comment, or something.

    I saw it on you prior post about linux-7.0.3 but forgot to check the dates. Here is what the gcc ftp sire reports;

    -rw-r--r-- 1 2168 2125 98928272 Apr 25 22:35 gcc-16-20260425.tar.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 2168 2125 102456900 Apr 30 09:08 gcc-16.1.0.tar.xz

    Note that the official release is newer by four and a half days. Given that 6.1.0 likely has the more up to date spelling errors.

    $ echo 102456900 - 98928272 | bc
    3528628

    I am guestimating ~3528628 bytes of compressed new and improved spelling errors.

    Newer than what? My version is 20260430, so it must have been a hotfix patch the same day as the official release, or something in those lines.

    Now that you posted a May date of the same version (16.1.1), I'm confused.
