Ubuntu 8.10 is the version of your Linux. For all we know, you may be running MySQL 1.0. Who knows.
Get you mysql version and tell us what it is. That will settle that part.

It is called "Evolution", "Moving forward", "Being up to date", ... you name it.
Beta testers are supposed to be more patient than you are Djalil. The tarball that is being downloaded directly form the Web is not directly linked to the SVN repository. It is prepared and manually placed on the Web for your convenience. For blazing hot last changes and bug fixes, you should get them from the SVN directly. If you don't know how to do so, then just ask.
You seem to be blaming the developers as if they owed you anything. They certainly appreciate your interest for A2Billing, but it is still an open source software receiving little contribution from the community. I would have understood your reaction if this was an expensive software that you had purchased or if you had specifically hired A2Billing team to fix a specific issue.
Added after 5 minutes: By the way, I have made a post in the original thread with a solution to this problem. Now, it's your turn to make something happen. Let's see if you will do it. It's even hotter than the SVN cause it is not yet in the SVN (I didn't have time). If you can't find the time to do it, then I guess you will understand why the download link on the A2Billing Web site may not always be perfectly in sync with the SVN version.
