This is a volunteer's project, and it's impossible to demand ``must be there before...''. The only new things that will surely be there are those that are already in -current. Examples that come to mind are NFSv3 support, support for files (not only file systems) up to 1 TB. Many things have been updated, there were many ``global bug fixes'' like a general pass by Andrey over all core utilities to handle the i18n issues properly, instead of the ENABLE_STARTUP_LOCALE hack that finally caused xterm to dump core. There's certainly way more. If things are going well, i'm pretty sure 2.2 will also have a working worm driver that allows you to operate certain CD-R's. (I can say this since i've successfully burnt my first CD-R a couple of days ago.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
