[ANN] Release 9.6.2 RC-4

[Tom Glod]

Hi Lagi,

What unresponsiveness in windows 10 are you referring to?
the one that needs wait 0 with messages to avoid a frozen window?

I just reported what i think is a bug that has been there for years and
thats endless high cpu usage when using -ui flag ..... on WIndows 10 ...
and 7. I think.
I regret not submitting it when I first came across it.  Lesson learned.

Thanks,

Tom
