Ok, go for it. On the subject of the RELEASE-NOTES.txt, though, I would like to have that available directly from the website, so people can see the release notes without downloading the release. The commons-digester site does this, for example: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/commons-digester-1.7 http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/commons-digester-1.7/RELEASE-NOTES.txt Cheers, Simon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
