Hi!

Can't tell exactly. I use 1.3.79 here on 3 different fileservers in "production"
for some weeks. Till yet no problems, but our cell is kinda small, some 30
clients only and roughly 1 TB data in >1000 volumes. But the 1.3.79 fileservers
work together with 1.3.74 and 1.2.13 servers and clients from 1.3.70 to 1.3.8002
on windows.
