How does this relate to the ACT GLADE releases?

If ACT are working with their own sources, fixing bugs for paying
customers, providing them with wavefront releases, won't
the "Sourceforge GLADE" always be out of date?  Every time a new
release is made by the original authors, you will have to integrate
their changes.  And will it be possible to take the project in
a new direction without the sources diverging, giving a permanent split?

I am a constant user of GLADE, but have encountered a major bug.
Under certain (common) circumstances, failure of one partition can cause
the whole program to lock-up - even when the appropriate options
are specified in the build.  I have not been able to get hold of a
wavefront release where this is (said to be) fixed.
(all this on versions 3.15p, Intel Linux).  Does anyone know
how I can get hold of a more recent GLADE for 3.15p?

Good luck with the project though! I'd love to see more people
using the technology, which beats the alternatives by a long
way (in terms of ease of use and flexibility).
