Did I get that right? From what I gather 4.2.x has last released 4.2.1, there is a 4.3.x with no releases, and a prospective 5.0.0 which should come out of the trunk (I saw changes mentioning 5.0.0). What are the stated goals for the 4.3.x and 5.x? Thanks. L [1]http://wiki.apache.org/stdcxx/Branching
