Hi Andreas,

Sorry for the late answer.

Does the fact that 2.6.1 has been released mean, that my patch (which I made on your request) is ignored?

No. v2.6.1 was Hatari v2.6 bug fix release (and your patch had no impact on Hatari functionality).

Initial screen dialog change itself probably should have waited after v2.6.1, but these things happen...

The fact is that Hatari defaults to release build [1], CMake does those with asserts disabled, and hides compilation commands so one won't notice it. So it's very possible that one does not know, or has forgotten that when coming back to project. None of us are that young any more...

It may be better to default to (optimized) debug build with asserts enabled, and only do release builds with asserts disabled[2], but that's up to Nicolas.

(I don't know how Nicolas does releases.)

[2] Note thatit's possible for assert-disabling to uncover bugs too.

To clarify, "you" in above was referring to us on the Hatari mailing list (not you personally), as in "If one remembers it".

Stating after issue has been already debugged & fixed, that unlike project members, you would have done things perfectly, is very credible, thank you. :-)
