Thanks Michael for this status about these plugins. Since the best way to widely test and improve these plugins is to widely using them, I thing it's time to commit them. If there is no objections in the next days, I will commit them next week. However, my first idea was to commit these patches in the trunk in order to avoid introducing some new bugs in the future 0.7.1 release. Committers (especially Piotr, our release expert) and developpers, what do you think about this point? (trunk for 0.8, or 0.7 branch for 0.7.1) Regards Jérôme -- http://motrech.free.fr/ http://www.frutch.org/
