I was happy a few RCs ago, and I mailed to say so. If most of the changes are in licensing files, well, whatever. I haven't tried to install the current RC. The thing I'd want to check is federation, but unless anything has changed in the last couple years, I expect it to be a nightmare to set up. And without manually trying that out, I don't have any more comments to add. Thats my thoughts, since you asked for them. J > > >> >> Ali > >
