Uh, excuse me, but at that time, officially, 2.1 still WAS the stable branch. That was the case for quite some time after a lot of people started using 2.2. And I don't think the documentation ever referred to 2.2 as current. More likely, it referred to "current" or perhaps "3.0" as current. > I should HOPE this has changed by now :) I updated the web documentation as soon as it was decided publicly that "stable" now refers to the -2.2. branch. Again, the actual change came long after most people starting thinking of -2.2 as the "stable" branch. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
