The beta test period is over, since the release had to go to MIT at Thanksgiving in order to go on the X.V11R4 tape (as per MIT's announced schedule). Our "lastest" sources would be the result of "patch 8" which we never explicitly cr eated or distributed. These sources went to MIT. We then sent people to Cambridge to do last minute testing against the actual R4 servers (nearly all beta testing was against R3 servers). These people have been making various tweaks and fixes so that the release on the tape should build and work easily. But, the consequences of this procedure include that we do not have a real copy of the released code, since by definition it is still in Cambridge. Therefore, we have tried to limit access to our (now outdated) beta sources; they will be replaced with the released sources when we get them back and integrate the changes into our mainstream source control system. And as promised, we will let people know when everything is ready and when they can come and get it. -Mark (By the way, we are starting to put together the final hard copy documentation and lay in a supply of Borenstein's book on Andrew development. It would help us if we knew how much interest there was in these materials -- a note to me, mss@andrew.cmu.edu, would be fine; don't bother the entire group.)
