All the changes that matttered in = APLAWS=20 branch of Core 5.2 were merged into Core 6.1. Thus the new release (now called APLAWS+) can run on the official stable release branch of Core and CMS 6.1. > >From Richard's statement I infer that APLAWS+ still makes modifications > to code that exists within the CCM codebase so another fork exists - = just=20 > at a higher level.

All changes APLAS+ requires to Core/CMS will be made to the standard CCM codeline. We don't anticupate these changes to be anything other than bug fixes in the short term since the current project focus is on stability and quality.
