[Glass] Does Zodiac port work on 3.2.x ?

Tue Jan 3 05:24:21 PST 2017

Hi Dale,

Yes, I thought it was for 3.3 but then the commit description "Zodiac runs
in GemStone 3.3 and beyond (no need for 3.2.x patches)" is what confused
me.

OK, thanks for the clarification. Once I am able to upgrade to 3.3 I will
see if I can write at least a test for SMTP secure client. The typical
example I can think of is a created gmail account specific for that...

Thanks for the summary.
