Give some of the things that have been added 'mid cycle' is there any real rule on that? As with PHP5.1 where we had to back pedal on some 'improvements' because of BC problems, 5.3.3 HAS to be installed if you want the current production namespace setup? But the real question is "What needs to happen next to get features in HEAD available?" I am sure a lot more people are interested in performance improvements and a lot of the esoteric stuff which is pervading the code base? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
