Is their an ETA or any information one when the next official stable
release will take place.

Now it's not fully disclosed, but there is an implied vulnerability,
either with <=1.3.3 or just 1.3.3. Which it's recommended to use 1.3.3.1
per
http://secunia.com/advisories/26316/

That caused the following bug on Gentoo
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188638

Can someone clarify if that effects <=1.3.3 or just 1.3.x? Is 1.2.6
effected by the vulnerability?


Now 1.3.3.1 comes with it's own problems, 100% cpu usage. Then there are
other "releases" happening else where or something? Which those seem to
be crashing and have other issues. Not really official, site is never
updated or reflects the >1.3.3.1 releases.

As a system administrator running ASSP for the past 1200+ days
consecutively on several product mail servers. I have never had problems
like the present. Not a single security issue to my knowledge aside from
some path traversal stuff we addressed via a patch. After it was refused
by upstream.

Now with all the issues and instability. Really starting to question the
direction of the project a bit and it's rather sad. If I have to get
involved I will, but perl is not really my thing. That being said I am
doing my part downstream packaging and making it easy for others to
install and use ASSP.

Unfortunately this volunteer tasks is becoming daunting. There are lots
of unofficial release. Way to many for me to package due to how we have
to patch things. Since ASSP config files do NOT support absolute paths.
It expects everything to be under $BASE, which is not FHS compliant for
any *nix system. We try to adhere to FHS when packaging applications on
Gentoo.

Presently I am left with the following.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191727

Please help. I am not here looking to bitch or whine. I don't want to
create extra work for you all, and surely don't want any more myself.

That being said this is all open source and happening in the public. If
you all are professionals with a reputation at stake. Might want to up
the QA a bit before doing releases.

I know Fritz and others have been putting in hard work. I very much
appreciate and use allot of the newer features. That made an already
effective ASSP even more so, with features like PB, Delaying, etc.

That said, doesn't look good to have the following on the main site :)

"ASSP 1.3.3.1 is ready for download from the Sourceforge site! This
release is packed with new features and enhancements, so many that we
skipped a version number and combined them into 1.3.3! Fritz and crew
have put a lot of hard work into this one and it shows."

Presently it's showing allot of problems and lack of QA before release.
Effecting many, in a project where this has never really happened before
in the past 3+ years. So credit is a double edged sword in the FOSS
world. And most times, your damned either way, never credited for the
good. If credit or etc is what FOSS developers are after, likely in the
wrong field :)

Thus no goodzilla, just bugzilla. No way to report the good only the
bad :)
