Rip it apart :) Not sure if the fixed problems sections isn't too technical. Advice/corrections welcome. The release seems to be already complete in candidate so the earlier the better.

ewong does Bug 1259941 need to be addressed in this release? Any news about updates? I left the paragraph in for now.

that bug really isn't much of a priority, imo.  The updates are still the same.  manual.

Sorry for slow reaction.

After looking at the patch in diff mode, nothing obviously objectionable strikes my mind but I don't find really qualified to judge this.

IOW, from my POV it's certainly not f- but I don't feel qualified to give f+. Seeing that you wrote it and that Ian gave you r+ is good enough for me.

Technically, it's a "minor" release ("dot") only, security and bug fixes.  ;-)

I'm wondering if we still have to yell this <font size++ color><b> at the user like this, or if we could tune it down a bit here and elsewhere, depending on the level of attention needed in a particular occurrence?

More a question for ewong: Should this be copied to releases/2.49.2/distributed as well to have the 2.49.2 release self-contained?

Users may confuse this with menu borders and arrows for menus on GTK3 per bug 1267982 and bug 1334679, which aren't fixed yet but don't seem to be mentioned anywhere in the relnotes.

Other than that, looks fine. Let's ship it!

Thanks, will look at the suggestions.

> I'm wondering if we still have to yell this <font size++ color><b> at the user like this,...

After doing the patch I noticed that we would end up with 2 places on the front place. I will remove the second one. 

Given how many people even seem to overlook the current notice we should better do not de-emphasize this :) Naybe for the next release if updates still not work.

Updated patch taking feedback from rsx11m into account. r+ from IanN retained.

> Technically, it's a "minor" release

Now a release.

> I'm wondering if we still have to yell this <font size++ color><b>

Yelling +1 not +2 now :) Removed the 2.49.1 one from the news page.

> Users may confuse this with menu borders and arrows for menus on GTK3

Moved the general bug up in the list. Fixed a lissing /li.

Minor corrections in the text.

Interdiff before I did the qrefresh. If someone could a brief grammar check I would be glad.
