Re: [Swami-devel] Re: [Freecycle-users] IPATCH_CONVERTER_FIND_PARENT (freecycle-CVS-20060505)

Hi Josh,

Sorry if you have misunderstood me. I'm really happy with the fast progress 
rate of swami-libinstpatch. Keep up the good work and add all the features 
you need!! I'll take the last (stable) release of libinstpatch (1.0.0pre1) 
and base Freecycle on it. My error was not specifiying which is the 
"official" release for linking Freecycle and swami. As soon I have found out 
that i'll change in the doc.

Note for the Freecylce list. I will try to base Freecycle on the last released 
tar, and not (as sometimes) on the cvs.


Cheers,
Predrag
