Bertrand, Andreas, The NS CIP fixes were backported to 1.8. Initially I was not considering backporting your latest changes to support the new version of the protocol since it's a feature addition. But now that I'm thinking about it, the change is minimal and very well isolated and you very likely are the two only users of this feature, so even if it would break anything it would be your problem :-) Thus my question is simple : do you *need* support of the standard protocol support in 1.8 or not, and is any of you against the backport if the other one needs it ?
Please just le me know. Thanks, Willy
