Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot for the information. I saw today that you had uploaded 
4.19.0 to Debian tracker.

I'm not adventurous, and I'm not particularly pressed to enter the 
Microsoft wolf's lair, so I'll wait until it feels comfortable to 
switch. However, I have got a test domain setup with 4.18.6, and will 
definitely try out 4.19.1 from your repo (when it's available).

Best regards,

Peter
