Exactly, just like Curl, OpenSSL, GNUTLS, and so on. > I have been informed that it is not always a brilliant idea to use > latest Berkeley DB, right? If you use on-disk database environments (grep for DB_ENV to get an idea if this is the case), you need quite a bit of code to handle updates properly (and downgrades, of course). If you use just plain DB objects, it's not very likely that you'll notice any changes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
