CDE 2.2.4a development has been released. It should percolate out to the various SF mirrors shortly.

Depending on contributor activity, we may release more development versions and eventually a final stable version (2.3.0) over the coming weeks/months.

Here is the snippet for this release from the HISTORY file:


# 2.2.4a 06/08/2018

This is a long overdue development release.

This release corrects several known issues with newer BSD based
operating systems, enables TIRPC by default for all Linux systems, and
corrects several hundred bugs and warnings (compiler and coverity).

Using TIRPC on Linux means that you should no longer need to configure
rpcbind to run in insecure (-i) mode.

For Linux, only the C/en_US locales are built by default now.  The
available extra locales are:

fr_FR.ISO8859-1, de_DE.ISO8859-1, es_ES.ISO8859-1, and it_IT.ISO8859-1

To build for these locales, you must ensure the locale support is
present on your OS (see the wiki), and then you can:

A) Edit config/cf/site.def and add the desired locales to
   DtLocalesToBuild in the LinuxArchitecture section, or

B) call make World with the following option:

   make World IMAKE_DEFINES='-DDtLocalesToBuild="fr_FR.ISO8859-1"'

   to build the French Locale, for example.

For the BSD's, All of the current ones (OpenBSD 6.x and FreeBSD 11.x)
should compile now.  Since we no longer use XPrint, the BSD's
should not need to compile their own modified Motif libraries any
more.  Just install a Motif development package, and go.
