Why do you say that?

These are support newsgroups, afterall.  Most postings are problem reports,
and even then only by a small group of users who know where to send such
reports.  That doesn't mean the version is not usable to the general masses.
A lot of users are using it just fine.

I wouldn't hold my breathe for a full release anytime soon.  That is simply
the nature of open source projects.  The code is always "live".

Yes, you do.

The TIdPeerThread.Connection property is a TIdTCPConnection descendant.
TIdTCPClient is a TIdTCPConnection descendant.  Thus, they sharing the same
ReeadLn() method.
