Marco,

Thanks for your quick reply to this, but I guess what I was asking was 
more general -- I am sorry that was not clear enough.

What is the latest non-development version (of which compilable source 
code can be obtained) that would include the perms fix, but be before 
the save/export change.

I do not know if the perms fix got into 2.6.12.  Is there any way to 
know other than to install and find out?  I imagine that here is a 
changelog somewhere but I am not sure where.

Thanks again.

Jay
