For example, does it mean that [1] will be sent to upstream? It is in "For Beta-testers" section for now… but, I'm pretty sure you'll have more testers if the patch was publicly published (reading code helps testing). And, if yes, then do you know when?

Apologies if that specific patch has been _publicly_ submitted on mantis). Regards, -- Mehdi Dogguy مهدي الدڤي http://dogguy.org/ -- Caml-list mailing list.
