- We plan a couple more updates, and release around year's end, dependant
- on the beta feedback. We're trying to provide some bug fixes via
- compuserve libraries, and otherwise we're trying to make sure that
- each update is stable - this "hold" for stability delays the product
- release, so we dont want to do too many - ie, we tell development to
- stop adding any new code to the source tree, then we test it and fix
- minor things, then we release an update. So we're trying to compromise
- with just a few updates, maximum development throughput, and compuserve
- bug fixes -- Alistair
