Comment 30 for bug 897469

Thanks, the instructions in the readme worked. I now have 3.6.0 built from source, packaged and running (I'm liking checkinstall).

I can report that the crop function works as it normally does in this build, no hanging. The autosave function also seems to be working reliably now. I did manage to get it to fail to load one of the scans to start with but I can't reproduce it after playing with ctrl-c for a bit.

Good work, and many thanks folks. Given the grumbling on the software centre reviews about the crashes and the lifetime of LTS (2017) perhaps this is worth a backport to the LTS release, or is this the wrong place to mention that?
