Hi Jirka,

At present, there has not been much discussion to update DynAPI2 to suppo=
rt
newer browsers.  I'm personally not opposed to it or anything.  It's just=
 that
trying to get current with DynAPI3 in preparation for a stable release is=
 a
higher priority.  Also my time and resources are limited and I'ving hardw=
are
problems.

DynAPI3 (in CVS) will support IE6 better, but there may be undiscovered b=
ugs,
as it's still in beta.  The DynAPI3 beta1 release has had a few problems =
and
is patched in CVS.  A beta2 or rc1 release is planned for early August.  =
I'm
still learning CVS and the SourceForge system, and while I have computer
problems I can't do much reading or testing of anything.

The DynAPI3 widget sets are different than DynAPI2.  Most DynAPI2 widgets=
 have
not been ported to DynAPI3.  Those require some non-trivial modifications=
=2E =

I'm doing my best to fix my hardware, configure OSes, read about CVS & SF=
, and
understand the DynAPI3 code.  If you do find specific problems, or make a=
ny
modifications to DynAPI, please submit bug reports, patches, feature requ=
ests,
or new code using trackers on the SF developer's site.
