Jim, I think this is way too much stuff for Update.1. We are in code freeze. We have items 1 and 2 scheduled to go into RC2; I would suggest that we ONLY pick up Spanish, where we really fell short in the current build; I don't agree with holding up this build for either 4 or 5, as this feels like

Hi Gary, Thanks for these notes! On the WPA/WEP issues with this build, there is a trac bug already open, #6123 (WEP) or #6191 (WPA). Can you add your info to one of those? The other two issues might need new trac items. - kim On Jan 27, 2008 9:24 AM, Gary Oberbrunner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

My suggestion is that people should test the joyride builds. At this point many bugs in ship2 have already been fixed in joyride. Be sure to include the build number and steps for reproduction in a bug report -- that helps alot! Thanks, Kim On Dec 1, 2007 5:41 PM, ffm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
