What is the big rush to 4.0-RELEASE ? With all the new functionality and recent changes there are some things that need to be bedded in (I'm thinking newpcm and ATA). Maybe I'm saying this because my SB16 PnP has only just been fixed and my CD-ROM drive doesn't work under the ATA driver (I'm about to try the most recent fixes so dont yell at me yet) but maybe I'm saying this because things seem a bit rushed. Consider the 2.2 stream that went through many more releases (counting 2.2.1 -> 2.2.8). Using that yardstick you'd expect 4.0 to stay in development until 3.7 is released. I know 7 releases of the 2.2 stream was considerred a few too many but surely we can hold 4.0 back a bit longer considerring the age of some of the code. -- /=======================================================================\ | Work: Matthew.Thyer@dsto.defence.gov.au | Home: thyerm@camtech.net.au | \=======================================================================/ "If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some larger space in which our Universe is imbedded.
