Hi all, I suggest that each package that have a dependency to another package, should be test again when there is a new release. To clarify my purpose, I'll take a good example. HTML_QuickForm_Controller 1.0.9 was just been released, and I've re-tested my version of HTML_Progress2 (2.4.0) and found a bug. Even, it's old (4 months ago since change that introduced the bug), and lot of download (almost 1900) nobody have noticed it! Perharps because no one used the HTML_Progress2_Generator ;-) As we can wait 4 month, we will wait 4 or 5 days more : just to let a chance to all HTML_Progress2 users if they are found something wrong to post a bug report before next bug fix release 2.4.1 planned for August 3rd Regards Laurent
