Ack, will rebase on that and send deltas from here on out on those. Easiest to keep things straight on my side would be to stop sending those patches, I can list them in the cover letter with links to the originals for any further review? As for what remains, is there anything else I need to do? I think timing this week is less than ideal with LPC next week so people have less time to go through it but it does feel like things are stabilising (despite the large changelog for v4 ;) Thanks for all your help with this! Is much appreciated. > > -- > Cheers, > Nathan -- Cheers, Lorenzo
