ECL suffers from fast development problems if this is what you mean. People are advised to stay with certain releases and we announce when some ports are broken due to progress along certain lines. For instance, if I find that the generational garbage collector is needed for Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and OS X, and it works, I do not mind dropping temporarily the mingw port until the garbage collector library catches up. People who wanted to stay with mingw produced a branch (see Samium's posts) with the old garbage collector. Now this is not so dramatic. ECL now has a release cycle of ONE MONTH. If you find that this month's release does not work on your platform (and this is normally explicit in the announcement), then do not upgrade and wait one or two months until the problem is solved. OTOH, people only seem to notice problems when their petty platform is temporarily broken, but nobody seems to notice the overall stability and portability of the platform. See the list http://ecls.sourceforge.net/logs.html which will soon expand including Solaris and regular builds on Windows using the free Microsoft compiler. And once the ARM computer I have been gifted by a happy arrives, then Debian-ARM as well. Juanjo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
