What will I be supposed to use then when Mercurial is going to be in effect, implemented? I need something that will work under Linux KDE. 2- I have been waiting to submit new testcases (at least 17 entirely new, about 20 to modify) for many months now because of the test suite freeze. I wanted to submit those testcases this week or this weekend. Is it already too late now? regards, Gérard -- Contributions to the CSS 2.1 test suite: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ CSS 2.1 Test suite RC6, March 23rd 2011 http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/toc.html CSS 2.1 test suite contributors: http://test.csswg.org/source/contributors/
