Hi Willem,

1st of all: it is news, not news2 - this has changed already some months 
ago.

yes. of course it got bug as every other extension but I and other 
companies use it on productive sites.

what is LIST2? I never understood that concept of tt_news.
news got list and single view and list view is configurable in many 
different ways.

what is the difference between list and latest? IMO just the time frame. 
set the setting "Time limit" to e.g. "-10 days" and this will be used.

currently no code available and also not that easy to do. can you 
sponsor code or money?
