First, I saw the early update from Jan 3 that the formal submission was made and that the expected award date is roughly 2 months from there. Is late Feb or early March still the expected target, or have issues come up since that would cause more delay?
Second, and more importantly to me than the release date -- is the new 2.0 validation done on the source code or on the module? The original validation was done in source code form, and thus the validation status was maintained on other software/hardware combinations so long as one was able to compile a set of bitwise-identical source code using the same compilation/build procedures. I assume this cross-compile capability and portable validation aspect will be maintained in the 2.0 validation -- but I feel like I should ask since it was such an extensive redesign. Thanks! -Brian
