I wasn't sure either, so I left them out, but yes those two features for example could go in there... should it be a 'bugfix only' release or a 'stabler' release... it's opten for discussion. There are also a few commits that only add plugin events, they should also go in 0.97.1 if we do the 'stabler' approach. > To the relative path thing: It is stable, but only with all patches.

I think you're right, it's not worth it taking the risk of making that release less stable.. and it's feature because it's for the shared profile thingy... about 0.98alpha, I guess having a disclaimer 'if you use this version, save your profile, as it will become incompatible with 0.97.x' should be enough ...
