ok u have right, but for example, if some one made a good utility tht's
usefully for my enterprise
but its made in new gambas components.. i'hvn alowed to use in my gambas 3.4

now gambas have the desktop part wth lot of features, some of my manpowers
made components with newer version recent 3.6 and i must revise and return
to redone the work with older 3.4 due we use gambas for some daemons and
some cgi progrms (is the best for window migratng without re-learn)

or well another point its that  gambas can be compiled all new features in
any distribution that still server, for example, we still use squeeze and
lenny
on many servers, of course we use it in my job  with some well patcheds up
to date
packages made in home.. (and we think about offer a repo for that)

currently gabmas 3.4 and 3.5 compiles almost all in squeeze, on lenny nly
mis media and jit
i'm afraid that next releases will not compiles in squeeze at leats
