    I had to go check but it has been over 3 years since the last psmisc release back in February 2014. I really didn’t think it had been that long ago.  Anyhow, with no further delay, psmisc version 23.0 has been released today! Update: 23.1 is out now, removed some debug line out of killall…

The next wrinkle is…

    Two updates for Debian today. I’m the upstream for psmisc and 22.13 finally got released, which also meant 22.13-1 Debian package got released too.
