-
- One of the biggest problems AMosaic had was with forms. Prior to 3.0,
- MUI didn't have features required by AMosaic for dynamically adding
- objects to open windows, and so the latter worked some "black magic"
- behind MUI's back to get it to work. This was notoriously unstable. In
- 3.0 the needed features were added. AMosaic checks the version of MUI
- you have and uses MUI's features if they're available, so it can
- indeed be more stable with a later version of MUI through no fault of
- MUI.
-
- Of course, there were a few bugs introduced in MUI 3.0 that have been
- fixed in 3.1, 3.2, and 3.2fix, which can further make AMosaic appear
- it's getting more stable, but these weren't causing the problem before
- when people used to blame MUI.
