That's "encouraging"...) This may be true about big bugs in the kernel. But don't forget that we have manu small bugs/regressions that have been introduced in 1.2.0 and that never got fixed because we have more ambitious things to do. This `small cleanups' phase is also very necessary to have a polished release. There has been important work done during these last months. JMarc
