I think 8.1 is coming soon. I shall wait a while for 8.1. I would love
to help you out but I am short of time to reinstall Debian and build
aws2.5

I am using 2.3 at this moment and so far so good. Will consider
upgrade to 2.5 later after development is in production stage. I plan
to release the Alpha to my client for testing by end of June.

Nothing is definite now. I may build 2.5 who knows. I will let you
know if I have built one.

Thanks.
