It is intended primarily for those who, for some special reason can't/don't want to go to the 4.0 code base. 5.0 is "current". It is where new stuff is tried out before being moved to the stable branch or (if not appropriate to stable) until 5.0 is released. There is no 5.0-Release at this time nor will there be for probably another year or so. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
