[stunnel-users] stunnel beta (5.04b1) is available for testing

[Pierre DELAAGE]

I understand...
But at least for compilation issues,
it is useless to submit one patch if the whole app STILL does NOT 
compile because of (many) other pbs.

For runtime bugs such as unicode :
many little pieces of code are bound: partly fix means bugs remains and 
global app remain un-usable and un-predictable because mixing erroneous 
code and partial fix.

so...global philosophy is one thing...practical fixing another....

Regards
Pierre
