- I am not happy with pl17 or pl20, pl21 probably won't be much
- better due to the large amount of cleanup work in it. However,
- pl22 should be pretty stable. (Actually PL21 is pretty stable,
- but who knows what we broke)...
-
- Pl21 should be out in a week or so, PL22, who knows, but not
- too much after 21 (its only going to fix things we broke in 21)
- and then I hope to stop issuing patches except for major bugs.
-
- If you are waiting for 3.0, better re-read my signature, it
- says 1994, not 1993, and I make no committment as to when in
- 1994, so its at least a year off.
