Known issues
============
Older versions of Doxygen has bugs in the man-page generation which
cause the builtin help to render incorrectly. Version 1.2.14 is known
to have this problem.
Fish currently requires a semi-modern GCC version to
compile. Specifically, GCC 2.95.* won't compile fish. Fish has not
been coded with an C99- or GNU-specific features in mind, so it is
hoped that it should be possible to make fish work with other
compilers. Patches are welcome.
In version 1.9.2, the installation prefix for fish rpms and debs has
changed from /usr/local to /usr. The package should automatically
change any instances of /usr/local/bin/fish in /etc/passwd to
/usr/bin/fish, but some programs, like screen, may need to be
restarted to notice the changes. You may also run into problems when
switching between using a package and personal builds.
