[Bug 52788] New: 18 Bugs in Alpha3

Thu Jan 9 21:57:06 UTC 2003

Thanks Mantia for the big report!
You are right, all these bugs are showstoppers and need to be fixed 
until the final release.
Even some of them (like 11 and 15) require to add more real necessary 
functionality, it's more work than bugfixing. That's why I think we are 
not ready for heading to the *Beta* state as the next version until such 
things haven't been solved.
Do you have time to fix perhaps one of these bugs?

Cheers
