Is there a list somewhere of which versions of the ancilliary programs are being tested with each release:

IE: with 0.4.x, it was generally accepted that you should be using python 2.5 (from my understanding).  Where as now with the 0.5.0 release, it's OK to use python 2.6.  The same thing happened to me with unrar.  3.5 worked just fine with 0.4, where as I needed to switch to 3.99 with 0.5 to not get errors.  (this is on opensolaris btw).  So anyways, I've got a new system I'm doing a fresh install on, and I don't seem to be able to figure out what versions are the tested versions.  If it's listed somewhere and I've missed it, a link to RTFM would be great. 

Might I suggest creating a "compatibility matrix" in the wiki if there isn't one floating around out there somewhere already?  It doesn't necessarily have to be "this is the only version that works", nor do I expect you guys to test every iteration under the sun.  Rather "this is what we tested this release with, and we know works", that way it gives the rest of us a starting point.

Again, if this all exists somewhere and I've just missed it, apologies for my google-fu not coming through this time

I believe the list would include:
python
py-openssl
yenc
feedparser
unzip
unrar
par2cmdline

I think that's all of them?

0.5.0:
Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 but not all subversions: the later the better.
Pyopenssl: 0.7 or higher (except for Vista/Win7: 0.10+)
yenc 0.3
feedparser: included
unzip, just about any version
unrar, 3.80+
par2cmdline: anything which uses the same command line arguments as the ancient Peter Clements version.

We will support older unrars again with 0.5.1., but with some features disabled,
potentially leading to loss of files when duplicate names exists in multiple rar-sets.

We limit our testing to:
Windows XP/Win7
OSX Leopard and Snow Leopard
Ubuntu 9.10

Awesome, thanks for the quick response!

Any chance of having a wiki entry with the info for others looking for the same info?

Yeah, only we never actually notice that people read it.
At least not if the questions are anything to go by
(Not yours).

I just started the install, and I noticed I forgot to ask about which version of cheetah should be used.  Rather ironic, since that's what prompted this post.

Thanks!

cheetah-2.0.1+
