Because update server still lists 33.7.1 as the latest.

It's not possible to upload and enable everything in a single minute. It should be available now.

I did wonder if I was too speedy with trying to get the update? I wrongly assumed that the forum post would be the final step of the process, and wanted to make sure that if there was a problem, it was reported. I won't be so impatient in the future.

Thank you for the regular updates!

Generally it isn't and I do it right after the main website and downloads are up, to keep all that grouped together when publishing. This isn't scripted or automatic because I'd like to have control over the process. Automatic updates are more of a background process so I don't necessarily prioritize changes there until I've done other things (like submitting updates to the Windows Store which now is a thing) but maybe I should move that forward in the future?

I always manually update linux Pale Moon.

With the above said, at the time of this post, 64 bit linux Pale Moon 33.7.2 (GTK2) is running smooth as silk on the linux distros of MX Linux, Mint and Debian which I use.

Thank you Travis (trava90) for maintaining linux Pale Moon and doing an excellent job for many years now.
