It really doesn't work like that. Most bugs persist for a very long time, and are easy to reproduce. Are your comments based on experience with finding them helpful? My experience after looking at many hundreds of bugs is that the version numbers are not useful at all. Really not. _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta
