Re: Axis c++ 1.5 release plan (draft 2)

+1 for you being release mgr - well done again for doing it :-)

re web-site. I was under the impression that LSF were going to do this stuff and we didn't quite get around to it. So, I think we can stall that until next release.

I also don't think we changed the fault mapping support. This still might get done but not sure. we had long debates on the mailng list but no conclusions.
