 Yes, I'm pretty much aware of it, thankyouverymuch.

 No, will never consider it - especially not within a few hours time
given from the release (which I was part of) to the notification. Please
be aware that compiling it and preparing it properly takes a bit more
than that, having the notification mails within that short time phase is
all but just annoying.

> The source code of version 1.4 by upstream can be found at:
> http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wesnoth/wesnoth-1.4.tar.bz2

 That's where the watch file points to but it was available from
files.wesnoth.org some few hours before that from where I fetched it
already.

 It would (again) still be more than nice to give the maintainers some
time, this way I consider it just as a prod and rather think about
unsubscribing from the summary tag - which on the other hand does
also include the testing migration informations which /is/ useful. But
one can't have everything... Maybe I should just implement a procmail
rule to filter these overquick prods out.

 Btw., the informations on the PTS in the advanced mode doesn't state
(yet) that summary contains these informations, too - you might want to
get that fixed.

 So long,
Rhonda
