Hello Jérôme,

no need to shout. :-) OpenSER 1.2 is actually only a few weeks old. If there 
are any problems, they will show up over the time, as more and more people 
use this release.

Any reasonable sized software project have bugs, this is not the question. But 
if you have a good testing infrastructure in your company, and good 
developers (as present on this list) the are all manageable. 

In my opionion there is no need to be alienated from anybody with superior 
technical knowledge, but lacking insight into the current release. ;-)

As stated on this list, and in the README of the tm module, tm is one of the 
more complicated modules. So unavoidable there will be still bugs present. 
But don't need to be frightened, just test the code, or trust if over the 
time enough other people will do the tests.

Cheers,
