Nothing. Zero. We are all guilty, me too. I know. I try to keep my main contributions (Zinc HTTP Components & Zodiac) compatible with both 1.3 and 1.4 and so far that works. But of course, some deeper issues are only resolved on 1.4, perfectly normal. The work that you do, including the backporting to 1.3 is much appreciated: it is _you_ who makes that happen. > Sometimes I think we should just stop and do something else.

The current stable version, 1.3, is a very good version: it was developed by a whole community for a long time, and we all worked and lived with it for a long time, a lot still do. Today, 1.4 is moving fast and is very promising, for many of us, it is our daily workhorse. Maybe one of the tasks of the consortium could be to dedicate some extra effort to maintaining the current stable version. Sven
