[Cooker] UPDATE: XFree86 4.0.2 NOT 2b released anytime soon
Below is copy of email Mr. Dawes was kind enough to send me. On Fri, Oct 06, 2000 at 11:26:27AM -0500, I wrote: Hello, The rumor is that xFree4.0.2 will be released in a few days.

I agree that preciseness would be an advantage, but lack thereof IS the nature of software releases. I think that if Dawes had a definitive month this year he would have put that. I'm happy he said "this year"; aren't you? I don't think contacting him is prudent/required. His response to me was courtesy - he's not really talking to me and I did not mean for my post to be interpreted that way. I apologize if it was. At least he did not say "later" or "soon" like so many others do. IMO, Asking him for information that he does not have will just PHO, and he may never respond to an email in such a courteous manner again.

Now, I'm sure they did. |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On |Behalf Of Leon Brooks |Sent: Saturday, October 07, 2000 07:14 |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [Cooker] UPDATE: XFree86 4.0.2 NOT 2b released anytime soon | | |neognomic wrote: | Below is copy of email Mr. Dawes was kind enough to send me. | | That was our plan, but it didn't work out that way.
