[pLog-svn] r6088 - plog/branches/lifetype-1.2/class/security

Wed Jan 2 13:49:55 EST 2008

 	It is sort of humorous to hear that the releases are coming too 
quickly.  It was just a year ago (maybe more?) that people were 
complaining that they were too slow.
 	I don't think we have any features planned for the 1.2 branch, so 
if there is a 1.2.7, it will be a security release, maybe some interesting 
bug fixes that shouldn't wait for 2.0.
 	2.0 is a ways off, so you won't have to wish that one any slower, 
I think.
 	I think 1.2.6 is going to be a great release, and judging by the 
traffic on the forums (and the continued downloads without complaints), 
1.2.5 was great too.  I recently posted a list of the changed files in 
1.2.6 to the forums - there weren't any changes to the templates or the 
stylesheets, so this should be an easy upgrade even for people who heavily 
customize LT, as long as they are using plugins where appropriate, etc.
 	In any case, thanks for your feedback, and something we'll keep in 
mind going forward.
