Monty,
Great to hear from you, Monty. I have followed your development of MySQL and am
most impressed.
The response to my proposal to start a web page has been well received. I'll try
to have something up for everyone to look at soon.
Anybody know what happened to Chris Provernzano? Chris, if your out there, would
you have a problem with another site maintaining and distributing MIT pthreads?
Monty, your idea to use your version of MIT pthreads as the base is excellent. If
we did that could you help me to learn what all has happened to the release since
1.6beta6? What's this about new support for HPUX? I downloaded the 3.20.30b
version this weekend, but I didn't see much new. Is it maybe in your 3.21.9
release?
How would everyone feel about the patched release being called version 1.7?
