+# 20211014 bkw: *downgrade* to 1.59, for now at least. 1.60 crashes
+# immediately if built with gtk+2 and started with a ROM filename.
+# If you pick a ROM from within the app, it'll work sometimes, but
+# sometimes it'll crash. When build with gtk+3, it crashes any time
+# you try to open the Preferences dialog while a ROM is loaded. I
+# also tried the latest git, it acts the same as 1.60 (except that it
+# can't be built with gtk+2 any more). I can't get 1.59 to crash, so
+# that's what I'm packaging. I don't know if the issues with 1.60 are
+# something to do with -current (something that might be fixed before
+# 15.0 releases) or something broken upstream. If you're reading this
+# after Slackware 15.0 has been released, please remind me to look
+# into it again.

 # 20191126 bkw: update for 1.60. Upstream has switched from autotools
 # to meson for the build system, so this script can no longer build
 # old versions.
