Ayup. And will be, at least until 2.1 comes out, and maybe a bit past that. I've stayed with 1.1.5.1 because of the stability it had which 2.0, sadly, lacked. One thing that would be useful (for myself and, undoubtedly, others) would be some kind of upgrade script, that would avoid the necessity of a complete from-scratch reinstall. (As far as I'm concerned, something based on the sources would be fine. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time or resources to do this myself, not only because I don't run 2.x, but because of work and personal commitments.) -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com
