The version in my personal branch in the svn - which contains the essentials - are on 5.3.2 Still - it looks like that it is not going to be merged with the official trunk for a long time. I'm part of a project that actively maintain the code - and frequently backport our work to savanna. There is also four new modules not yet released in public : 1) booking, 2) catch(handheld integration) 3) lease management and 4) a public frontend Regards Sigurd
