Well, maybe. But this is the de-facto version people are using and it's acctually the official version + alot of bugfixes only. Even companies providing BSP modules (Biometric Service Providers, ie biometric backends) are recommending the use of this version. Hopefully the BioAPI Consortium will release a better 2.0 version soon. > > - -- > Dixi. > Sem. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFDyjOWTclL2LcfYF0RAsnwAJ9zkpojEHw1Hm8uICy1jyj4XeGhdACfVOvJ > NB5ammezyvvLyZdbUA8Izhs= > =m7/v > -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
