There is a lot of new code and features in HMG 3.0x.

The new code, usually contains bugs... the bugs requires fixes... sometimes the fixes creates some new problems that requires additional work...

So, I'll put a definitive feature freeze on 3.0.x releases (again :) ) dedicating the next weeks to make deep testings, analyzing incoming bug reports and publishing only required maintenance releases (with no new features) until a 3.0.x become stable and reliable enough to be labeled 'Stable'.

All the new things I'm working on, will be published on 3.1.

The first 3.1 version will be published only after 3.0x can be labeled as stable (it could take some time).

I know that most of you are hungry for new features, but you must understand that these 'pauses' on new features delivery are necessary to have a reliable tool as all we want.

Day by day, HMG power is getting better and better. It has been a reliable tool all these years along with Harbour. Achieving a new stable version is another milestone. Congratulations Roberto and thank you very much for your unselfish dedication to HMG.

Danny

I agree with you, Roberto.
As we, Russians, said: "Foolish head don't take a rest to feet" :)

Polish equivalent of those words is: "Where a man rushes, there the devil happy."
(Gdzie się człowiek spieszy, tam się diabeł cieszy.)

And by the way: I have plenty of ideas for improvements. ;)
