c++ genpat stuff?
http://www.tibed.net/h_vpatch.php indicates a new version of vpatch was released. Changelog:

VPatch 3.0RC6 (march 2005)

Release candidate 6 which features:

* Completely rewritten patch generator in C++ with better performance and no longer needs big amounts of memory.
* Use MD5 checksums instead of CRC32
* Restore file dates when patching
* Updated all runtimes to use a single codebase
* and more... read the readme inside.

Be nice to have this in 2.08 - would make it more portable to linux and other platforms.

It's a release candidate. I'm still waiting for the final version. Preferably with this and this fixed.

Okay, no final yet, but RC7. The second bug is fixed. And I now have a testing framework to test common functionality first before releasing a new version... that should prevent RC6 disasters in the future.

About the first bug: I posted in the SF bug report. Would the 'correct' semantic be to flag it as an error? I can see why it would be useful, so if you or the bug author can confirm that is what you mean, I can add that. And test cases to check that I added it the right way :rolleyes:
