Teck's microstats? and you never released it

you can go directly from any 3.0.x to 3.5.x

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth hacking my board now, with the 3.0.7 hacks, then rehacking it with the 3.5 stuff, or if I should just wait. I can wait like a month, but I think I'll hack it if I have to wait for 3 months.

What's the normal beta period + major hack release cycle?

personally i'd ay hack away, Jelsoft are no long reknownd for meeting their own deadlines.

besides if you're like me and have LOADS of hacks installed it will be a long wait till they're all converted to 3.5-ness.
