Brett: Thanks for stepping in on this. I agree that continuum does what (my) clients need - and that the 1.4.x branch has more features (like reporting) and enhancements (like suppressed passwords in logs) that would make it more valuable for all the current customers.
I also agree on the 1.4.1GA. I will make time to help on that - but I will need your guidance. >From my memory, I recall that it will need (at least) - the fixed version of redback for blank passwords to LDAP - database update scripts for 1.3.x to 1.4.x ( I may have those in my archive from when I did my upgrades to 1.4.x) I would very much prefer getting my clients up to the 1.4.x branch than converting them off the apache stack to mercurial/hudson. So... how do I get started? Got some docs for me to read on how to push a release? Looking forward to it (with only minor trepidation...)
