I would tend to agree with this, it is an extra effort to keep up with all these toolchains. Obviously, toolchains need to be updated, but perhaps doing it twice every year is too much. Is there a need for this? Unless perhaps the “a” releases are considered kind of public beta versions, and the “b” releases are stable ones :-) Best regards Jakob -- Jakob Schiøtz, professor, Ph.D. Department of Physics Technical University of Denmark DK-2800 Kongens Lyngby, Denmark http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/~schiotz/
