I mentioned that to prevent some waste of people's time. I know certain things about the release, but I am not part of the group that is involved with the distribution. I am sure when the time comes people will know about it. If you saw the paper in last summer's usenix conference about performance increases, thats all in there, plus a bit more. It's well worth upgrading to in my opinion. But as I am not part of the distribution group, it would be inappropriate to comment on P.O.'s or new licensing requirements. Milo
