Like i said sometimes ago.. im using trunk in a production for one domain here (my domain) ... And i update the server once the week if some stuff was add to trunk. So i think thats more testin then most of us did with 2.3.0. Sure i can't use all of the components at the same time but i can say for the components i use it works.. I also do some testing at the moment with the imap stuff and it seems to work so far.. > >> sometimes it is impossible to keep the config compatiblilty. >> and have a clear UPGRADING.txt in the release will hopefully >> help the users.
