shell news

The LSDev Team has shuffled priorities so as to get a v0.24.8 out the door sooner than later. So, Vista support has been moved back to the newly scheduled 0.25.0 release:
www.­lsdev.org/­bugs/­view.php?id=­42

And the 0.24.8 release will be seeing the light of day in a few weeks:
www.­lsdev.org/­bugs/­view.php?id=­32

One major item of note is that support for Win95 will be dropped with v0.25.0.
