I don't know what problems they solved and clearly the bugs they've introduced is more apparent than the ones they've fixed. If the intention really is to make a release how about introducing a freeze where *all* developers must get approval before making *any* changes? Or alternatively let's forget the freeze and allow any changes. This intermediate state is a nonsense. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
