Stopping security updates on 5.3 and then not providing 5.5 for another couple of months while not particularly problematic does seem to be a little irritating, but a fixed timetable that should provide an overlap would be ideal ... with the flexibility to move the deadline if there IS some major reason that 5.5 has not been released as currently planned? -- 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
