There were several 0.x non-CPAN releases and I wanted to distinguish it from Jochen's releases. Besides aren't 1.0 releases known to be buggy? Wait for 1.001 if you're cautious :-). I did get reports from a variety of testers that it works on linux, sunOS, win32, macOSX so I am somewhat optimistic. > I don't know if it even matters... but how does it compare, speedwise, > to the XS version? The joins are much faster :-) (since you can't do them in Jochen's version). Seriously though, it is undoubtedly slower for some things. The parsing slowness can be minimized by judicious use of prepare-once-execute-many. The eval_where (and indeed everything) needs optimization. I concentrated on getting things to work right (nested parens and all the variations on joins were a bear) and then I'll go back and speed things up as I can. As always, for large apps where speed is critical, users are better off with a real rdbms. -- Jeff
