After all, Herbert's patch is available for years now.
If you are not a developer and you need listings you throw away LyX, and when you are developer but you don't need it then you are not interested in implementing it. But I agree that it is a bad timing that we wanna add it now. > > I think such a new feature like this needs really intensive testing and > discussion. An ad hoc release is just too risky IMO. What are the risks? Some more bug reports? We will never have a zero bug release. When a user could circumvent the risk by simple not using listings then I think it is ok. > > Jürgen > -- Peter Kümmel
