To be sure that the dependencies don't get messed up, I've been working on getting the updates into stable and only then creating a kind of "supplementary bindist" which will be put into 0.6.2-current (but only for 10.3 users). The release of the supplementary bindist should be less than a week away at this point. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
