Noel, I had planned to upgrade last friday (February 21) my James server from 2.1.1a5 to 2.1.1, when I read your message about the critical bug fixed in the 2.1.2a2 nightly release, so I upgraded to 2.1.2a2. Now, having 2.1.2 been released immediately after on saturday 22, I wonder if I should plan to upgrade to 2.1.2 shortly or if I can stay safely on 2.1.2a2 until either 2.1.3 comes out or some important bug fix is released: in other words, which are the differences between 2.1.2a2 and 2.1.2 (I can't see them from the changelog)? Moreover, as today is one month since I switched the mail service of my company to James, and I'm very happy of that, I want to take the opportunity of this message to thank you and the other developers for the job you are doing and the time you spend on it. It gives me the desire to contribute somehow to it in the future. My appreciation goes also to the care given to this list and its politeness. If I had to summarize the reasons of my satisfaction with James, I would mention the true simplicity, the flexibility allowed, the ability to keep control of things happening, and the speed in finding and fixing problems. Congratulations and thank you all, Vincenzo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
