Other distributions like Fedora drop packages that don't compile cleanly wi=

Valid lout input should produce the same output from recent versions of the=
official lout as from my version, with the exception that my version write=
s more decimal places when positioning objects, which fixes issues with log=
os having incorrect sizes. Also,
some valid lout files that crash or display incorrectly with the official =
lout work correctly in my version, and some invalid lout files that crash t=
he official lout do not crash my version. (Most of those might have been fi=
xed in the official 3.41.) My version
resolves all gcc and clang compile warnings. My version also has makefile =
updates from distribution maintainers to simplify building rpms. I think th=
at all of those changes are fairly non-controversial and could not have bee=
n made in a significantly different
way. Maybe someday all of the lout forks can be unified.</div>

<div style=3D"font-size: 11pt;">Hey William,<br>
<br>
With Jeff being less available for Lout, I think many of us are<br>
benefiting from your work, William, making it =A1=B0de facto official=A1=B1=
(I<br>
recently switch Guix, the distro I contribute to, to your fork, because<br>
the last official release just wouldn=A1=AFt build with recent compilers).<=
br>
So many thanks for your work keeping Lout a viable option today!<br>
<br>
Ludo=A1=AF.</div>
