I think that's already great ( in other communities you got no sort of schedule or in depth report of status )..... We need to be patient, even though as for a mail from Scott Long dated 26-Oct-2004, we can smile at: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .....skip Please continue to test RC1. At this point I'm not going to promise a particular date for 5.3-RELEASE, but I would expect it in the next 7-10 days assuming nothing else significant comes up. Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ soon big party ! :) alex -- ** acme aka Alex D'Elia --> root.acme.com ** ** private:: alex@fan.priv.at ** work:: acme@sil.at **
