yes, i guess that the problems are very different (although both are somehow related to the page locking) anyhow, that's why i wanted to test devel_0_38, just to see whether things have improved.
btw, is there a possibility to check, whether page locking has been enabled by an application ?
still ... saying that devel_ is evil and stable_ is good ... that doesn't really improve things ...
i never said this. i consider stable as stable and devel as experimental; both have pros and cons. it is just that when working "professionally" with an application, it is often good, to have a reliable stable version to use.
and then my pun is rather about devil than evil.
the thing that you reported this to me today, and the autobuild system is few monthes old, tells me that too little people are using devel_. and most devel_ users are on linux ...
definitely (and sadly) true. it seems, that you and thomas g. are the only ones.
i even think that providing precompiled releases of devel_ from time to time would improve the user feedback ...
depends; i tend to think that devel is meant for2 devel'opers. (but probably, stable is meant for horses)
cheers ... tim
