Thanks for the heads up, Jan. Looks like me might want to delay the branch. I can't remember that Doug said he was done on his end. There is no real hurry until the end of the month. After that, my schedule gets really tight again, pretty much until mid-september. I still expect to be able to make the branch, and possibly produce the release, but I might not be able to push for regular updates the way I like to do... -- Joel
