[GeoNetwork-devel] csw-search with wildcards not working - any updates?

Dear List,

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but are there any news on
Ticket 526 (Wildcard search not working with CSW requests in 2.6.4) ?
The URL to the Ticket: http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/ticket/526

I think it is a critical bug not being able to search with wildcards and
wanted to ask if there is a patch or workaround to get the search
working again?
Do we have to wait till the Release of version 2.6.5? Is there a
approximate release date?

Thanks in advance,

J. Weskamm
