Bochs 1.4.1

Bochs 1.4.1 has been released on Source Forge.  Version 1.4.1 is a bug fix
release based on version 1.4.  For a bug fix release, we try to include
only changes that have been tested in the main CVS branch for a while, to
avoid introducing new bugs while trying to fix old ones.  At the end of
this message is a list of the things that have changed.

Thanks to all the developers and those who have contributed patches.  As
you will see from the Change Log, Christophe Bothamy and Volker Ruppert
have been especially busy fixing things.  Christophe did all of the CVS
work required to finalize the bug fix version, sifting through different
people's changes to decide which ones should go in this version and which
need some more testing.  This release would not be ready today without his
help.

For those who want to try the new release right this second, you can find
it on the Source Forge Files section at
  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12580
We'll get the web page updated ASAP.

Regards,
Bryce Denney
