I'll prefer to release beta4, because of changes in HWPF, inclusing changes in binary Word files parsing (not mentioning new features like bookmarks, fields, endnotes, converters, etc.). So some community testing of those changes will be very welcomed before anniversary release. 10-14 of August shall be okay for beta4 i think. -- Sergey Vladimirov --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
