Honestly, I didn't think we would be this far by now (we had regression tests mostly passing 4-6 weeks ago), and the win32 status page hasn't added a new TODO item in quite some time. I thought we would be hacking Win32 all through 7.5 beta and releasing something after 7.5 as a 7.5 plus patches release but we are far enough along to hit 7.5 by feature freeze. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
