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. -- Adrian Hoe http://adrianhoe.com/adrianhoe/
