I believe that is true. 6 and 5 are orthogonal in terms of features, and I remember Hans saying that 6 might come first, depending on what kind of funding they get. > Or, in other words, the version number refers to a major, sweeping > feature. 4 is plugins, 5 is distributed, and I don't remember > understanding 6 very well -- but I was young when I read about it. IIRC, 6 is when we get the fancy Future Vision querying. -- Hubert Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
