dTa! defines q-values for hashes, same type as with TCN. The highest q- value wins (which is sha-512 followed by sha-256 atm).

To big of a risk to port a lot of infrastructure over... Rewritten hash storage, completely rewritten verification implementation, new localization strings (and we don't change l10n on stable branch if not absolutely necessary, as this would require all localizers to update their locales, etc...), code is not "mature" yet. 2.0 took (or better "takes") a lot time. But we're actually pretty near a beta release now. I just finished the first draft of a change log. I'll hopefully fix the last few bits over the easter weekend (i.e. landing page texts #, and selector mode (sans keyboard shortcut)), so that I can push that beta Monday evening. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Metalink Discussion" group.
