Anyway, I've never said I will integrate that IDE stuff when I become the 2.2 maintainer :) ... I just said I'll think about it ;) ... I never ever want to break 2.2, and such an update will definitively break things. 2.2 took a long time to become that stable like it is now and it can be broke within minutes. A no-go! For users who need/want/experiment with that stuff there is still my 2.2-secure tree. Anyway, 2.2 needs the hashing exploit fix ASAP ;) ciao, Marc
