David, All valid points if I was complaining about Adam not fixing particular issues but I wasn't; I was lamenting the fact that if Adam spent 10 minutes a day checking his Ibex inbox it might not grow so much and other people would be able to pick up on issues more easily if they had decent feedback. I don't expect Adam to be fixing problems to order or working insanely on Ibex (although he often does) and that's not what I said either. Myself and others have been happily fixing problems - or at least attempting to. ;) I, and I'm sure everybody else, fully respect Adam has many time and financial commitments and would be unreasonable and naive to suggest Ibex should be his number one priority. But the difference between that and a few minutes a day is immense. For example, he _still_ has a patch in his tree that, as Tupshin and myself have pointed out about 5-7 times, completely breaks rendering. Whilst that's not a big thing for myself or others in the loop with our custom builds, what does it say to people looking at Ibex as a platform only to find the latest 'official' version is horribly broken. (The irony is that said patch was for a terribly trivial bug.) Ack, this is sounding bitchy and it shouldn't be. I apologise for the previous grumpy email Adam - I was very hungover ;) - although I hope you realise it is slightly justified. I had no intention of stirring bad feelings. Mouth shutting... soon... almost... now. -- - Charlie Charles Goodwin <[email protected]> Online @ http://www.charlietech.com
