A new release is available at

    http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/prerelease/

It reflects the latest Makefile/installer patches you sent in (and
checked in by Guy), as well as GTK 2.4.7 and GTK-Wimp 0.62.  It looks
like we may need to do a line-end conversion on the NEWS file; when I
check "Show News" in the installer, Notepad shows the text without any
linefeeds.

When I bring up the "About" box I get the following error, repeated
several times:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtktextbuffer.c: line 557
(gtk_text_buffer_emit_insert): assertion `g_utf8_validate(text, len,
NULL)' failed

I've also found an assertion bug in the font chooser:

    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151068

This affects 0.10.6 as well as the prerelease.
