Perhaps some explanation is nescessary. It is clear that having two branches was really inhibiting development, people were reluctant to commit to one branch or another, for fear that their changes would be lost. With respect to dereferencing, I haven't noticed this - not to say that the problem doesn't exist, but I am confident that the new_datastore code is of at least comparable stability to the current HEAD branch. > So be warned, the stability of the cvs code and snapshots will be quite > treacherous in the near future (particularly while the merge is in > progress, I'd avoid cvs entirely until it's done..) I have disabled snapshot generation for the moment, those who don't want to use the new datastore code should use today's snapshot, although I hope that everyone pitches in to test the new code. As soon as Tavin has done the merge, I will move it to the new freenet module and do some work to provide useful scripts and other tools to make live that little bit more pleasant for developers and users alike.
