Correction: In the announcement for 2006-01-29, Ralf wrote about some
problem with images in the 2005-12-19 version.  jpg, png?  I don't
remember.  Maybe Ralf could add a CHANGES-w32 file on alpha.gnu.org
summarizing the major changes?

Do you refer to [1,2]?  For me, it was quite a minor problem.  I
wasn't even able to reproduce this bug after Piet's first report.  A
simple workaround is to click into in the article before clicking on
the link.  Or use mouse-2.  Bug [3] (introduce when fixing [1,2]) was
much more annoying to me.

No, both contain AUCTeX 11.82 (cf. RELEASE-2006-01-29.txt).

On GNU/Linux several people including me had some crashes (see
emacs-devel / emacs-pretest-bug).  I'm not sure if its fixed.  But
maybe it's not relevant for w32.

Bye, Reiner.
