In an attempt to untangle the mess I got myself into with version
numbers, the next BBDB version will be 2.32, and the subsequent
developer release will be 2.33. This gets me vaguely back into "odd
numbered releases are developer toys", albeit not in the way I'd
like. Unfortunately, renaming BBDB-2.4 as BBDB-2.4.0 would, as best I
can tell, confuse the hell out of automatic upgrade toys such as apt
and RPM without auxillary massaging of versioning, and I don't feel
I've done quite enough work to justify a BBDB-3.0 release - heck, 3.0
is probably for whoever takes it over after me.

2.32 should be out in a day or two, once I've figured out whether
anything in the current build is heinously broken or not. I'm sorry it
wasn't sooner, but for some reason my brain shut down for a few days
and I couldn't get anything useful done (although I now have a
homemade Perl/Tk map editor of sorts for Midtown Madness 2...); that
spell appears to have passed.

I'm also trying to avoid getting into incremental parallel builds
since I simply don't have the capacity for it; I don't have automated
testing (for regression tests) and I don't have a horde of willing
testers who will gleefully pelt me with bug reports, so the
development cycle will remain as a single user release and a single
development release, leapfrogging each other up the version numbers.

I've added in two more third-party items to the bits area -
bbdb-signature.el and bbdb-anniv.el. I've no idea what these do, but
they were contributed to me in good faith for inclusion in the central
BBDB code repository, so I've put them with the rest of the
unsupported bits. I may modify the tarball generator so that these
aren't included in a distribution tarball; then again, I may
not. Fickle whims and all.

And, hmm, I think that's about it.

Cheers,
Waider.

I really need to reinstate the witty comments, dammit.
