I'm not sure of which patch I'm referring to, either. Some are stating that we need 3.8 ABI compatibility in 3.9. Someone else has stated that "Joris's patch" restored that 3.8 ABI compatibility for them. I'm just trying to get a fix on what it is that needs to be done to proceed.

Unfortunately, I don't feel capable of actually coding (or signing off on coding) that will make things happy again. I'm able to commit things that are obvious or that don't meet any disagreement. I do some coding myself, but as this was Joris's work it would seem to need his comments to make sense of it all.

Thanks,

Lee.
