Wow. Sense of entitlement much?

All you needed to ask was:

"Can you please tell me what Horde's bug-fix release policy is, as I  
am waiting for release to PEAR of a commit from October that fixes an  
issue I am having.

Thanks"

That would have saved all of the noise and righteous indignation.

To answer your question, the Horde devs are currently working towards  
a major point release (5.2) and as a result releases have been fewer.  
5.2 is due shortly.

If you *desperately* need the commit, then apply it from Git.

Simon.
