GM's FAQ specifically says they are completely independent of IM now and neither will nor *can* they take new code from IM and put it in GM --- thanks to licensing issues. API/ABI stability "that you can count on" is one of their "reasons to use GM instead of IM" on the home page. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir-dev
