Hi Team, Good news from Robert Fuhrer. Does anyone have any inconvenience in waiting some weeks, to make the last version of LPG 2.0.18 be into Orbit ? Cheers, Adolfo. ------------------------------------------ Hi Adolfo, [Apologies for not having responded to your newsgroup post; it's been a particularly intense work period for me the last couple of weeks.] Although v2.0.17 is the latest LPG version at the moment, v2.0.18 is due out fairly soon (so says Philippe Charles, the primary author), and has some potentially very useful improvements in the area of error recovery. As a result, I've been delaying the initiation of another CQ for LPG in hopes of avoiding doing two in rapid succession. I've also been intending to get LPG into Orbit, since as you say it's useful to a wider audience than just IMP users. Also, although v2.0.17 is mostly a bug-fix release over 2.0.16, it includes one fairly significant fix to the runtime (as I recall, it resolves a bug causing the parser driver to hang on certain erroneous inputs). As a result, I believe 2.0.17+ is a better candidate for Orbit than 2.0.16. As of his latest communication, Philippe believes 2.0.18 will be released within the next few weeks. If that's too long a delay given your project's constraints, let me know, and I'll start a 2.0.17 CQ, and perhaps you can initiate the Orbit process once that's in place.
