[L2Ork-dev] Purr Data 2.15.1 - Zexy library

Tue Oct 13 12:37:11 EDT 2020

Just a quick heads up, as Gitlab seems to be down again: There are still
some residual issues with the reworked zexy 2.3.1 implementation in Purr,
I'm currently working on those:

- zexy/sort not loadable due to a typo in the source. I wonder how that
slipped through IEM quality control? ;-) Anyway, that's a really trivial
issue, I already fixed that, but still need to upload a new package.

- On *Windows only*, `make check` (and the CI) gives a segfault somewhere
in zexy (I'm not sure at present which object causes this, or whether it's
related to the zexy/sort issue). Linux and Mac are unaffected, `make check`
works fine there.

If Gitlab remains down for an extended period, I'll just release the fixed
up zexy as 2.15.2 on the GitHub mirror as soon as I've sorted out the
Windows `make check` issue.
