Hello,

I have used ZPatterns-0.3.0 to complete a project that I shipped
yesterday.
Although I had to write a CatalogAwareRack/Specialist to allow me to
search for rackmountables, I can say that ZPatterns has saved my life! I
would like to thanks Philip for this great contribution. (too bad I no
longer remember the url of that site where you can send so-called
"virtual beers" to fellows on the internet :-))

Now, for a project I have to ship by the end of june, I would like to
use zpatterns-0.4.0. I especially want to use the new search interface.
Does Philip know when ZPatterns-0.4.0 is out? If it is until the middle
of june, I can certainly wait. In the other case, I wonder if the search
plugin (in the case it has already be written) can be used with
zpatterns-0.3. In that case, I can do the work of adapting the code to
zpatterns-0.3
Also, for that project, I will have to write a sql attribute provider.
If one can give me advices on how Ty wants to implement SQL Attribute
Provides after he's done with LDAP Attribute Provider, perhaps I can
start the work (since I have a use for it) and let Ty continue the work
when he has more time / have finished LDAP Attribute Provider. I already
have some ideas on how to do it, but I lack to view how far the concept
have to be pushed. Without any help, I will end up writing a SQL
Attribute Provider that work only for me...

regards,
