That is because I am preparing roughly 2 major updates per year, preferably shortly after a FreeBSD release. The other changes to the port are to maintain compatibility and fix whatever problems users may have. To pre-empt the inevitable question: Yes, there will be a new version before the end of October. Do you miss a specific feature in the current port or why do you press for an update? Best regards Riggs
