i can only second it ... communication sometimes does real magic ...

distributing binaries of devel will definitely improve bug reports for
the devel branch ... there were some bugs in the devel branch that i
introduced and for a long time, i wasn't aware of them, since no one
actually used the specific functions.
e.g. there was a problem with overcommiting memory that was in devel for
about 4 monthes ...
and i don't know, how many bugs are in my asio implementation, since i
only got feedback from thomas and carmen ...

cheers ... tim
