Well actually I am waiting with a new release for inn 2.2 or so ..

I don't want package 2.1 yet, because it still has bugs
and is not too fast (the overview implementation is a lot slower).
I've only tested the storage-enabled version sofar, I'm going to
run the normal version on one news server tomorrow. We'll see how that
goes.

Then I have to find out a migration path from 1.7.2 to 2.x, unfortunately
some configuration files have changed format and worse the history
file format is different too (dbz 6 instead of dbz 3). And the inn-dev
stuff (libs) have changed a lot too ..

Also I have to ask the perl maintainer to package the perl shared
library seperate, so that a perl upgrade won't hose your INN system
unexpectedly (and force me to release INN in sync with perl).

Mike.
