Certainly, all the following applies only to trunk.
While I appreciate this new feature, hopefully this doesn't additionally delay the release of 2.5.2, because the Trace API crashing the server issue in 2.5.1 is a show-stopper for my customers and/or people using the Trace API in general. Using 2.5.2 snapshot in production isn't always an option as well. ;-) I understand that money makes the world go around, thus the reason for breaking the release rules, but IMHO it's time that 2.5.2 goes final. I know I won't get new friends with this rumble post *g*. Anyway, keep up the great work! Regards, Thomas > I plan to add the following features: > 1. Support subj from gbak. > 2.
