While I am as frustrated as you with some of the bugs and regressions that you mention, I don't think it is constructive, or even in your self interest, to take such a scolding and tattling tone with people, many of whom volunteer, to provide you with software for free. On Wed, 2009-04-08 at

I deeply agree every single character of this post. In addition, there should also be some fundamental design problem with the new backend. As far as I understand, its goal was to speed up certain operations, but what I can see is just the opposite. Beyond that it is very unstable and unreliable
