    I'm on 5.2.0 on Archlinux, and 4.9.3 on Gentoo (but I'm pretty

    Either way, both work great. :)

    Yep, I haven't had any problem so I just stick with it. :)

    Guess I'm just a sucker for trying the new stuff out soon after it's released. That's why I stick with rolling distributions currently, and have an interest someday to create my own Linux From Scratch or something similar.

    Regards,
    Nick

    I'm a little uncomfortable with 0.50 because the author hasn't
    released it.

    That's a concern of mine as well. (Tried contacting him a
    while back about that and other things, but have never received a
    reply...)

    I've been using v0.50 for well over a year now without any problems.

    I don't doubt it but I generally prefer to use released versions for debian packaging. OHOH; it's easy enough to create patches from changes that the author made, so I'll be seeing those will take care of the build errors after being added to the debian packageing...

    Do you know if there are any issues compiling it with versions
    like gcc 5?

    Not sure. I'm using gcc 4.8.2 on slackware atm. slackware-current is
    4.9.3 so it may be a while before I get to see 5.. :)

    The default gcc for Debian Testing ('stretch') has transitioned to GCC 5 (v5.2.1, currently), so I'll be seeing how that goes once I get past more of the build warnings..

    Actually this is incorrect. It autocreated config files if they don't exist. MultiMail always has. If they exist then they are used.

    If you want the rest of the files, such as UNZIP and ZIP (if you don't want to hunt those down yourself) as well as the color config files, you do need 0.49.

    What I'll do is create a full release and put it out so that way no one need be

    I've asked him about as well; we'll see what he decides.

    Note that what I'm testing it with is as of 22 Sep 2015; there's only one commit that day, so the archive version number I'm currently using is for v0.50~20150922.
