That's because they take whatever is the latest version of software available at a particular point in time during the 6 month development cycle. Months prior to a release, the freeze everything to whatever version was included in the current cycle. If one piece of software releases a new version past this freeze date, the old version will *still* be part of the release. The new version *may* be "backported" into the current release but not unless it's a vital piece of the system or if there is significant user demand for it. Don't hold your breath for backports though, case in point is Pidgin. -- _nimrod_a_abing_ http://abing.gotdns.com/ http://www.preownedcar.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
