Some chip vendors only support that version, so I am assuming that that was the reason for the question. It is a classic case of what happens when people do ports that are not merged. They say it is good enough as is and then never move forward or fix bugs. The good news I guess is that we have the source, so we could forward port it if we were really motivated. David Daney
