According to RE the signature checking infrastructure is off:

This is a major problem as releasing without these checks is like releasing a 
build without any quality assurance. 
 
The problem can be separated to two things: 
 
1. we need a list of all incompatible changes in APIs since 4.1[*] to 
guarantee that there are not going to be unexpected linkage problems for 
modules written against 4.1 running on 5.0 
 
2. we need a list of all changes in APIs during September 2005. Otherwise we 
risk that unwanted changes have been made by accident and we will have to 
support them in future. 
 
[*] these diffs need to include patches by Maros for vcscore and debugger

The owner is RE who runs sigtest. This issue has been created, because RE went 
crazy and switched the sigtest build off during summer 2005. Since then we 
managed to return back to our senses and the sigtest is running.

Btw. I am surprised we managed to release 5.0 with P1 bug open. Probably ide 
is not the right category for reporting bugs!?

Agree, so just to don't step into the same river again I am going through all
high-priority issues in this sink-hole ;(
