So what about that? 2.8 is around since almost 1 year, and this delay is not justifiable IMHO. There are now tons of developers and maintainers that need to build against 2.8, and I doubt a transition plan from 2.6 has sense due to API and behaviors changes. We have simply to cope with two different versions, as already happens for other libraries. -- Francesco P. Lovergine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
