  34 <PRE>&gt;&gt;<i> Speaking of 4.5.0, is there anywhere the masses can d/l this while it's
  35 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> being worked on? Is there a CVS anywhere?
  36 </I>&gt;<i>
  37 </I>&gt;<i>I don't know about Andy, but I was reluctant to allow the general world to
  38 </I>&gt;<i>use under development source due to the number of unhelpfull bug reports I
  39 </I>&gt;<i>was getting. People did not seem to get the fact that the source was VERY
  40 </I>&gt;<i>alpha and as such didn't do many of the things it should - like saving
  41 </I>&gt;<i>databases or working properly. As things get closer to a final release it
  42 </I>&gt;<i>becomes easier to release it as beta code. 4.5 was getting very close to
  43 </I>&gt;<i>that stage when I last worked on it. However, Andy has to pick up where I
  44 </I>&gt;<i>left off, which means that it will probably be longer until it gets
  45 </I>&gt;<i>released.
  46 </I>&gt;<i>
  47 </I>&gt;<i>I hope this makes it clearer as to why the source was not released to the
  48 </I>&gt;<i>public.
  49 </I>
  50      Just for the record, this is more or less my reasoning as well, though
  51 for me it's simply that I _know_ the code won't work right and I don't need
  52 dozens or hundreds of E-mails telling me that.  I plan to do like I did with
  53 previous versions: when 4.5.0-to-be is more or less stable, I'll release
  54 &quot;pre-versions&quot; (4.5pre0, 4.5pre1 etc.) for people to play with.
  55
  56      P.S.  I'll get to the channel suspension stuff later--I have a bit of a
  57 mail backlog to work through.
