After following the Pound mailing list since v1.6 or so, my assessment is that v2.0 has resolved several issues that existed in v1.x (such as memory leaks for example). The authors consider v2.0 stable, where v2.0.4 include fixes for smaller issues. Actually, v2.0.4 is considered beta because the author invites for testing under heavy load. Since v2.0.4 is out, I observe that the few problems that were posted are mostly related to building it on some platforms, or to issues where Pound is only one element in the entires chain client's browser - backend Web servers (e.g. where the solution is often not involving patching Pound itself, but either adding a functional extension or changing the surrounding setup). > I've enclosed an updated port for v1.10 Thanks for this update from interim v1.9.5, and for having done & posted the initial port in January. The reason which triggered me to update the port to v2.0.4 was that v1.9.5 is not available from the source anymore for downloading. What is the next step to get Pound (any version that is considered acceptable) included into the ports tree? Rolf
