Just checked possibility of merging vt(4) to stable/9 - think it is possible, but have to test, since there is a lot of difference in teken. First look on difference show me merging have not to be a big problem. stable/10 - no problem. As I already said to Niclas, I will try to done merge to both to middle of March. > > -- > John Baldwin Thanks. WBW -- Aleksandr Rybalko <ray@ddteam.net>
