Hi Werner: I am interested in or working directly on a lot of the recently introduced code. Thus, I would like to see this work released in a timely manner so our users have access to it. On the other hand, additional time will be required for further development of the new code (e.g., modern font handling for the qt device, finishing the leap seconds work for libqsastime, and documentation of that new library) and some additional time required for rigourous testing. So I am comfortable with a release date say two months from now and willing to live with one three months from now, but I would prefer we release no later than three months from now. Would two months until the release give you enough time for what you want to do with wxwidgets (and qt) or do you think you will require three months? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
