Yes. CVS HEAD is about 6-9 month missing of the 2_0 release. (correct me
if
I'm wrong). But as Jean Francois Micouleau wrote earlier, there is hope
:)
(as he is merging the two) (btw .. just curious ...  which way round ?
pdc

There are a couple of issues in 2.1 that are broken (and fixed in 2.0)
unicode setups, locking issues, dfree, etc...
