The release is scheduled for this summer. It actually was getting put
in the can, but we got so much unexpected (and wonderful) additional
contributions in the last two weeks which we didn't know about that we
set back the schedule a bit (and added to our workload).

We want to thank everyone who has responded to the call for
contributions posted 2 weeks ago. Your support, work and encouragement
have been extremely heartening, and have spurred us on to try and do
the best possible release we can.  We understand the concerns regarding
stability, performance, and the ability to easily add new enhancements,
and we are making these items primary goals for this release.

Lynne and Bill Jolitz.
