Yep, I'm a newbie - and it's the release version I use. I was hoping
the beta might fix my BLOB/Character set problem (no different). It
does have a lot of fixes - including a bug that has caught me out
with events on a multi-homed server (work-around - run it somewhere
else), so I look forward to a release that I dare use for real.
