I was not paying much attention to RexxLA mail, and I saw 1) that ooRexx 5.0 was always in beta status, and 2) that Rony was always saying that it was "of release quality" -- a contradiction, in my view: if it was "of release quality", why wasn't it released? My conclusion was that Rony was an enthusiast, and that the product, nevertheless, was still not ready (I was right about the former but not about the latter :)). I only migrated to 5.0 when it was finally released. I can understand the person who initiated the "No known bugs in ooRexx 5.oo worth to fix?" thread perfectly. My impression is that not doing minor, fix releases can create a certain impression that ooRexx is abandonware. Not good! Josep Maria
