RE: [Dynapi-Dev] Snapshot broken

[Pascal B. <pa...@dy...>]

Yes there have been changes made to the DynAPI code in two months, but the
release version was a stable one ,working. The major things done in the last
two months are widgets and modifications of old code, not new code. So I
don't think the release is an obsolete version.. it works.

One idea is that maybe one of the admins (not me) can take the current code
and create one new release out of it (fixing known bugs but do nothing else
with it, not adding any new code posted in this list) this should give a new
updated release version containing the new widgets (and style) and the
current code.

Anybody up for it :-)
