Its not laziness... I'm not having that many '#ifdef's in the code. Some cases it makes sense for cURL to have #ifdef's, in some cases it'll just make the code both unreadable and unmaintainable. The solution I'm working on is to autogenerate from the curl.h and multi.h files. However, that's after i get the multi interface in, and the cURL extension is hopefully up-to-date. Anyhow, I get the point. I just don't find it valid, if you're doing QA, than upgrading to a pre-release is not that much harder than upgrading to the release itself. PHP-Curl is _not_ that often tested in the QA process, simply because most features rely on a server being available, and with PHP/QA there is none. Therefore, very few regression tests. -Sterling -- Sterling Hughes <sterling@bumblebury.com> Did I help you? Consider a gift: http://wishlist.edwardbear.org/
