Eventually a new major version is released and work stops on previous versions. Once the code base becomes too separated there's no point in continuing both. The Linux 2.0 kernel has bugs that no-one is going to fix because major versions have been released. Also it's not really a buy or die policy as 1.6x is an incredibly powerful mail client which most people could continue using. If you want the features of V2 then you'll need to upgrade. When I think of how many versions of Windows I've got through when many of them were just glorified service packs Win95 to Win95SE, Win98 to Win98Se, Win98SE to WinMe. None of those upgrades were more than bugfixes yet we were expected to pay for them. I used TB! for 4 years upgrading everytime a new version was released and was never asked to pay a penny more than my original payment. Also considering how powerful TB! and the cost of most software nowadays Iw as thrilled to only be charged £20. If version2 is upgraded like V1 was I'll be a happy bunny for many a year to come. -- Jamie Dainton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Leaders of the world's richest nations meet in Cancun on September 10th 2003.
