I don't see it stated explicitly, but I would not expect Bayes & TxRep databases to be revertible to an older version due to hash changes. This likely would not be fatal. > Have other put this in production and was it ok? I am guessing yes > and yes. I believe that many PMC members have, like myself, been running trunk or each RC as it was released since we went into pre-release mode. We have bug reports specifically reported against 4.0 issues, all of which are resolved, so we do have external testers as well whose issues have all been dealt with. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire
