The version number will always have an pre attached to it except in the tags branch in the repository. The code is always changed to the better;-) However, using a minor branch such as 2.4 should be safe since we only fix bugs and important changes in minor branches. If you don't like the 1pre you can change it in the build.xml file (which I do not recommend since it show where the version you are using is coming from). > The source built fine from the dodgy tar file. I'll check out the suggestion posted earlier in the mailing list. Maybe the problem dissappears in the next release. > I'm becoming an expert BASE upgrader... (merging in config and migrate > patches, keeping plugins working [jars now outside the main base directory]) Me too, I am keeping several BASE installations somewhat up to date. someday my update script might end up in the BASE distro. Having jars outside the main BASE directory should probably be highlighted in the docs. This also allows several BASE applications to use the same plug-in directory structure and only configurations have to be added to the different applications. > And it's nice to see a few of my feature requests in there now (switched user > can stay on same page, JDK6 now supported). Feature requests are welcome and we'll add them to the application if we think they are useful for a larger audience.
