However as we already reached feature freeze and we are will have beta2 tomorrow I think it's a bit too late for so much new code. I cannot really judge the sideeffects of this upgrade and would prefer to be strict about the feature freeze. So please do not update the library unless Stas decides that he wants to do it in 5.4, in that case I have to go with his decision. David
