2.0.8 stable was released last July and is in most distributions, including Debian on which Rasbian is based. Imagine my surprise at the workshop when I found a version so old that the Internet maps didn't even work. At the time I said I would look into why it wasn't picked up for the RPi but just haven't taken the time yet. As for a new release I think there are a couple of things in the latest that might make a release worthwhile but I'll let Curt speak up about that. -- Ken - N7IPB Email: [email protected] JID: [email protected] PGP Sig: F42B EF90 3CD3 31C7 3056 122E 993A 7B2E 5138 C42A “I never am really satisfied that I understand anything; because, understand it well as I may, my comprehension can only be an infinitesimal fraction of all I want to understand” -Ada Lovelace
