[Qgis-user] Is DXF support dropped?

[Mikhail Tchernychev]

  I re-installed latest released version 1.6.0 and it has DXF in place.
It also shows that it is using GDAL /OGR 1.7.3

In fact ldd shows that it is linked vs.  both 1.7.0 and 1.6.0 GDAL libs (?)

Does it mean that development tree actually rolled back to GDAL 1.6.0 ?
