I also prefer that one. > But also, as Steve brought up, we're in feature freeze right now and even if > it isn't a rule we can ignore at times I think we first need to consider it > carefully first if it really needs to go in now. Yes of course. That is your decision. > We do have these feature > freeze periods in order to "settle" and iron out bugs. Yes certainly. I've attached chronology that shows that feature freeze period has not been ignored. Everything pushed after Aug-16 have been fixes for stuff already in master repo. > Of course we can > still work on patches and discuss how to do things for inclusion after the > next release. Patch requested today should show that there's little left. But functionality this patch would provide already existed in first patches provided Jul-29 and Aug-02 by Steve. It is not my decision weather this should go in before next release. It is yours. What I'm asking here is you postpone this decision until Steve provides requested patch and we can see if it needs further polishing and better evaluate risks associated with pushing it in feature freeze period. Steve, please, I'll test your patches locally here. Don't let the ball drop now ;-) -- -=[Yang]=-
