Re: Release of Gambas 3.21

[Tim Dickson <dickson.tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry i'll be a bit delayed in providing the updated gambas slackbuild 
as my main pc is currently out of action and my (linux) development 
machine is also in a state of flux. I hope to get the main one going 
later this week.
regards, Tim
