All core features have been thoroughly tested. I'm looking for problems with the API. Do we need new parameters on some functions? Do we need to change the semantics of some functions? Do we need to change the semantics of some of the SQL.
Once the code comes out of beta, the API is frozen. Any deficiencies we'll just have to live with. So if there is anything you think needs to be added which cannot be added in a backwards compatible way, you need to speak up now.
Typically these kinds of problems are only discovered after heavy use, which is why I'm asking for more users before I move out of beta.
The question of Host Parameter Names and their format is the kind of thing that needs to be resolved now, before leaving beta. I just changed the parsing of Host Parameter Names (a.k.a. bind parameters) from ":NNN:" where NNN is a number to ":AAA" where AAA is any alphanumeric text. Those kind of changes need to be identified soon before the wrong implementation gets frozen into the design forever.
Thanks for your help. -- D. Richard Hipp -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 704.948.4565
