Hi Jean-Pierre,

We definitely plan to, but we (at least I) haven't looked at the difficulty of switching to the new version of the MED library.

Is there a document somewhere explaining the API differences between med-2 and med-3? Is it possible to keep med-2 compatibility when switching to med-3?
