Re: FYI: 4.0 release status

[Martin Pala]

Uid and gid tests are to do yet. These test are very simple, however i 
had problems with parser (p.y) shift/reduce conflicts with present uid 
and gid in exec-family statements (start, stop, exec). I will finish it 
as soon as possible, however as i mentioned in my previous mail, i'm now 
very busy. I will yet fix permission statement first:

from:

PERM(ISSION) octal_mode

to:

[IF] PERM(ISSION) octal_mode [FAILED] [[THEN] action]


I think i will find some time finalize uid and gid tests until friday.
