all the other features of IBO that are server-centric in nature.
I came to the conclusion that if I try to do too much to be all things to
everything that IBO would become too unmanagable. I have therefore decided
to curtail some of my ambitions in order to stay more true to my foundation
of providing client-server tools and to leave purely in-memory solutions to
those who are specializing in such.

to duplicate the same sorting options on the client as the server provides.
I have been asking for some time to have uniformity in the API so that
sorting can be matched on the client as it is on the server. However, this
requires extensive enhancements to the database protocols. Due to this
lacking, I have ceased to go after this objective.

seven years has gone by since I made these statements. These are still
worthwhile objectives and I would be interested in knowing for those here if
they feel I have let them down or if they appreciate that I have instead
emphasized keeping the client-server aspect solid and stable.
