Actually the wording on the developer site rather carefully avoids calling minor releases major... The dynamics of actual major releases, i.e. x.0.0, are less predictable than the x.y.0 ones; up till now there has been one in each of 2000, 2004, 2013. They usually signify some degree of accomplishment and possibly discontinuity in the API. -pd > Duncan Murdoch > > >> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
