No: we added stream encryption to Metabase as part of binarycloud R1. In binarycloud r2 we will implement encryption features "higher up" in the data pipeline. I was using that as example. In any case, binarycloud will shortly have data i/o stream encryption features, the methods are done in the abstract and we have the old code. :) It's very cool, you can set up a field as "encrypted" and everything else is taken care of for you. > fields.

Well, I believe Lukas is stil working on things. I don't monitor the PEAR lists as I would go blind reading binarycloud _and_ pear on a daily basis :) > are not allowing the merger to happen because that would help PEAR-DB to > recover from the huge delay that reflects on the missing features that > Metabase could provide. PEAR folks: is this a correct analysis? I hope not? Everything I have heard from you guys and Lukas has been extremely promising, I would hate to see it get dropped. > If you want to rely on something real that provides that and other > features, you'd better stick to Metabase as it is. He's right there.... but I would _REALLY_ like to see Metapear become a reality. I think it would be a really, really good thing. We'll use it in binarycloud. _alex project leader, binarycloud http://binarycloud.tigris.org
