There is no tag bearing the value 0.8.6 if that is what you mean.  I guess we 
can make 
one if it helps.

My understanding was that we increment the middle digit when making releases 
and the 
last digit whenever it is appropriate to do so (such as when ABI 
incompatibilities arise).
Also I understood that we used odd middle numbers for non-releases and even 
ones for actual
releases.

Although we seem to have forgotten this scheme.

     I can check if this error is introduced. For the non-ascii errors in the
     file names it would be better if somebody who encounters this problem
     volunteers for testing it. This because the MSWindows settings can also
     have influence.

Obviously that would be better.  But any feedback is better than none.
     
     As it seems I don't see the correct gitweb situation, is the patch
     applied?  Or should I made a patch from the previous message and apply it
     to the snapshot?

No.  The patch has not yet been applied.  You will need to apply it yourself.
