I apologize for the broken development package. The break was caused by The 
SCAN instruction I added at the last time - Something that *never* be done, 
as you noticed. 

Moreover, I added this instruction for a test, I don't really need it at the 
moment... It is related to the implementation of something like the 'ByRef' 
VB keyword.

If you find that I run to nowhere at full speed, maybe it is because you don't 
understand, mainly because I don't explain each step clearly. So please ask 
questions and tell me when you want to know why I do that, and why I don't do 
that, and so on...

All this information actually exists, but in different places: the slides i 
made for the FOSDEM, the freemind roadmap on the web site, some notes in the 
wiki...

If you find the development version full of bugs, please tell me. Generally, I 
fix them when they are told me.

As for CVS/Subversion, I know that this is needed. There are only two 
problems:

- I never took the time to learn CVS/Subversion, and I don't have any time at 
the moment... :-(

- We must be able to put binary files, and I read that CVS can't deal with 
that. And Sourceforge only provides CVS, no Subversion.

But if anybody having the knowledge makes a Subversion for gambas, no problem! 
I will use it... And if the guy could add a bugzilla, this will be 
perfect :-)

It just a matter of time, and having a server plugged on the internet.

Two things that I don't have at the moment. Next year should be better!

I will try to fix the packages tomorrow morning. Tomorrow evening, I am in 
Paris, and without Internet connection :-(
