One big drawback: my attempts to build PPC binaries on G4 and G5 yield to unstable results. Compilation works, but many pages make it crash.
If somebody else can build and see how it fares for him? Christian Zigotzky? Anybody else?
Afterwards, in case... debugging or at least bisecting is required.
My computers are too slow to do bisecting!

FYI:
Riccardo wrote: Attention: The preferences folder changed in 42.0. The domain changes from org.wicknix to org.multix and the application name from 'Arctic Fox' to 'ArcticFox'.
On MacOS you just need to rename 'Arctic Fox' to 'ArcticFox'.
On Linux, BSD and others, in your home directory rename '.org.wicknix.Arctic Fox' to 'org.multix.ArcticFox'.
Your preferences, history and session will be retained without issues.
