We _are_ trying to maintain two versions. During 2.2 beta cycle we updated 2.1 to 2.1.3 to fix security bugs and or changing smaller things like doc additions. You can read more about those changes here: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=249940 And you'll find our policy there: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=91012&page_id=47 That said, I tested the splitted weblet/webserver before 2.2 has been released and I didn't noticed a problem - maybe due to my webbrowser (settings?). But then, six weeks after release only four bugs have been reported - those you are referring to, plus two using dnsmasq with ipv6 (three of them haven't been detected during the complete beta cycle) - IMHO not bad given the amount of changes from 2.1 to 2.2. kp kp ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
