I've updated the announcement and intend to create the v_4_2_0 tag later today.

Subject: [Privoxy-devel] PACKAGERS file still useful?
Message-ID: <20260602152841.391da86a.fk@fabiankeil.de>

Is anyone actively using the PACKAGERS file [0]?

It's not obvious to me that the file is useful so if there
are no objections I intend to delete it after the 4.2.0 release
instead of trying to update it.

I have created the tag for Privoxy 4.2.0 and have
uploaded the source tarball to SF and the website.

I intend to update the website and send out the announcement
later today, maybe in about five hours.

Please speak up, if you want me to wait.

I haven't yet run the testsl suite on macOS - I have it planned for the weekend. If you think the likelihood of platform-specific failures is low (it is effectively BSD below the GUI) then go ahead as planned.

Good to now, thanks for the info.

While I think there a fair chance that you will run into platform-specific issues
when trying to execute the tests below test/cts under macOS, it seems also likely
to me that the problems discovered will be tracked down to issues in the test
suite as opposed to platform-specific Privoxy bugs.

Either way, I'd prefer not to delay the formal release announcement
until the weekend.

If it turns out that there's a serious macOS-specific bug after all,
we can do another release in the near future.
