It depends what you are upgrading from. If you are running 5.6.1 and you are happy with it then there's proably no need to upgrade. If you are running anything else and you can upgrade then it might be worthwhile. 5.8.0 has had an extensive development and test cycle, and as far as I know there have been no major bugs reported since release. Note that 5.8.0 is not binary compatible with previous versions so you will need to recompile all your modules that use XS. If you're interested in unicode or threads you should definitely upgrade. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
