texte = Fair enough, but given the hysteria (FUD) about this, perhaps someone could untie your hands or use their own words to explain what the plans are? I awoke this morning wondering whether I would need to freeze my webdna development and/or move, at long last, to PHP entirely. After my own private conversations, I'm not so worried. However, in the absence of an official announcement, people will assume the worst or at least something bad.

There are no plans to drop ... ;) Sorry, could not help it. I agree. I know that in the past I have been fairly open with discussing upcomming WebDNA features and release dates. But it has been made clear to me that that information should not be posted outside of official SMSI announcements. So my hands are kinda tied. -----Original Message----- From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf Of nitai@computeroil.com Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 12:49 PM To: WebDNA Talk Subject: Re: WebDNA dying or ... ? Hi Scott This is good to hear, but I expected a little bit more "lines" then a one liner. Maybe you can let us know what new features or enhancements the new version will have? I think SMSI needs to let its customers know what will be the future and what they can expect.
