(I could write a > short-story...) Thanks Dewayne, Dogfooding is why 2.3 wasn't committed. Larry didn't have problems with the upgrade, but I ran into a number of them on my own server, including some showstoppers (especially one that caused all incoming attachments to get mangled). I have every intention of committing 2.3.1 once it gets released, though if it happens right at the end of the month, I may wait a few days for 2018Q2 to get branched beforehand---I'd like for the kinks to be worked out in head before it hits quarterly. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org http://www.adamw.org
