<p>Hi,<br>
</p>
<p>The current version of avogadro2 (1.95.1) is affected by <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/issues/820">a
bug</a> that fundamentally breaks molecule editing. I fixed it
in <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/commit/c47d00c821ba77ea2b13aaa933cfc922f1980469">this
commit</a>, as part of <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/pull/819">this
merged pull request</a>, but no new versions have been published
yet. Next week is the Debian Import Freeze for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS,
which will be supported until 2027 plus 3-5 years of ESM, and
currently includes avogadro2 1.95.1. I suggest that you
reproduce/test the aforementioned bug to evaluate its potential
impact on users (which I believe is high) and decide upon an
appropriate course of action:</p>
<ul>
<li>Picking up the change in Debian as a patch on top of 1.95.1.
Possibly sending the new version to the Ubuntu upload queue?<br>
</li>
<li>Waiting, then sending the new version as a FeatureFreeze
Exception or picking up the patch later on top of 1.95.1.<br>
</li>
<li>Contacting the repository owner regarding a new point release:
<a class="u-email Link--primary moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="mailto:geoff.hutchison@gmail.com">geoff.hutchison@gmail.com</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm not really familiar with the package approval process, so my
apologies if my proposal is unreasonable.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
