Hello,
we would be happy to "share" the 27.06 branch with CMS. If there are bugs that CMS finds out, they are welcome to be corrected on this branch. We will not request any back-porting of new functionality, but just bug fixes. Best,
Federico Carminati

In addition dev releases by definition are less polished, as they are a dev snapshot, so you staying on a dev release might involve potentially applying more patches than on a pro release. Maintaining yourself a patches diff for 5.27/06b/c is fine, but in that case you also have to make an extra effort to handle as many issues with that release yourself, as for us to be able to help you would require to build your specific version of 5.27/06 for each issue. > > Anyway, I hope we can welcome you back on 5.28.00 soon in 2011. ;-) > > Cheers, Fons. > > > On 29/11/2010 11:22, Peter Elmer wrote:
