If you look at the "News" section on GD's home page [ http://www.libgd.org/Main_Page ], it says: "2007-11-28 The first release candidate for 2.0.36 has been released!" and that's about the latest News item on that page. If i look in the "Downloads" [ http://www.libgd.org/releases/ ] section, i see: gd-2.0.35.tar.bz2 gd-2.0.35.tar.gz [ snippy ] gd-2.0.36RC1.tar.bz2 gd-2.0.36RC1.tar.gz Following GD's release patterns, Release Candidate [ "RC<n>" ] releases are followed by a final, stable release which does not have the "RC<n>" suffix in their name. This has happened with 2.0.35 [ it had RC1 through RC5, followed by 2.0.35 ], but has not yet happened with 2.0.36, which is in RC1 as of 11/28/2007. So i'm not sure what's going on with 2.0.36, but it's not yet out of Release Candidate status. I'd expect a 2.0.36.tar.gz and/or a 2.0.36.tar.bz2 without the "RC<n>" in their name. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman Oracle Corporation stefan.teleman at Sun.COM
