After a discussion on Emacs developers list I realized that we ought to be very concerned about updating libraries we are sending to users. There could be security flaws in these libraries and they may need immediate updating or disabling. I currently distribute the image libraries with EmacsW32 (see http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html). I do not know what I should to with the image libraries now. This problem is especially difficult with libraries since the user may not be aware of what libraries a program uses. What should I do? Add a "check for update" menu entry? Discontinue to distribute the libraries? Could gnuwin32 have some service that makes this easier? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
