Anyway, Wolfram Kriesing (being > the original developer) has the last word on it, > I'm just keeping his package in shape until he comes back. He's in hollydays until next week. However the fact is: - The existing api is stable - Upcoming additions will obviously pass through a beta period Solutions: - Be happy with the current stable api, switch to 1.0-stable. Then 1.1-beta for releases with new features or 1.01-stable for bug fixes only release - Keep < 1.0 until you are satisfied with the api Regards, --Pierre
