Peter, forget about OS X 10.1
That was almost Alpha-beta in fact.

I believe yes. Apple self in xcode start from 10.2 it seems.

Please use db encryption.

2.x now is almost fast as 1.x.

Actually few developers already have point that 2.x is faster and MUCH
faster of 1.x in their tasks

Today I am going implement one new algorithm for joins.
It should speed up some tasks in hundreds times.

So generally speaking, 2.x is going to beat 1.x by speed :-)
