The API has not stabilized. I noticed the API changing twice within a couple of months this year, and on questioning this strange happening (as I saw it) I was told that the driver API hasn't been stable since 2.0.0. What seems to be happening is that the driver API needs to be altered to plug security holes. I think it is also changed to implement ideas of performance enhancement. As to further details I am quite in the dark, and for once in my life happy to remain so. -- Ethan Grammatikidis Those who are slower at parsing information must necessarily be faster at problem-solving.
