<p>Hello Nikolaou,</p>
<p>this is something that others already asked me.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em ! important;">I’m aware of newer
than 1.00 versions of Terminator and I’ve been informed that it
builds ok with only a version bump on -current, however I’d prefer
to wait a little time before updating the version of Terminator on
SBo.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em ! important;">My motives are the
following:</p>
<ul style="margin: 1.2em 0px;padding-left: 2em;">
<li style="margin: 0.5em 0px;">
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em ! important;margin: 0.5em 0px !
important;">as you probably know, the 1.9x versions are <strong>beta</strong>
releases for the GTK3 port that should become the new stable
when version 2.0 will be released (see the <a
href="https://launchpad.net/terminator/+announcement/14358">announcement</a>);</p>
</li>
<li style="margin: 0.5em 0px;">
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em ! important;margin: 0.5em 0px !
important;">given that also GTK3 is a fast moving target with
major releases having already broken backwards compatibility
more than once, I guess that waiting a little bit more will
bring no harm.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em ! important;">Having said this, I’m
really glad that it builds good on -current with no work on the
current script (apart the version bump), however keep in mind that
SlackBuilds on SBo are <a
href="https://slackbuilds.org/faq/#version">targeted to <strong>stable</strong>
versions of Slackware only</a>.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em ! important;">Kindest regards</p>

<pre wrap="">Hi!,
Terminator latest version is already in 1.91 and after the
new updates in Slackware-current needs a upgrade.
Can you please upgrade it to the latest version?
A simple bump version update in SlackBuild is quite enough.
I can take over maintenance if you are no longer interested
in maintaining terminator.
Thank you.
