So, I decided to get off my ass and put up a beta of the next release.  
It's been way too long since the last stable release, and since I've 
been using the CVS version full-time for several months now, I figured 
everyone else should do the same ;)

This is a fully functional release.  EWMH (aka NETWM) is implemented, so 
please test it out.

This is the first beta, and it is lacking a few things:
1. Documentation - all the stuff is pretty much unchanged from 0.65.0.  
The only thing I have updated is doc/README.style, which includes the 
new format of styles.

2. Tear-off menus - This can always be added later, there's no reason to 
hold up the release for this.

3. Focus Last Window on Workspace - this doesn't work yet either.  Like 
above, nothing to stop the release about.  In fact, I will probably 
have this fixed before the next beta.

And then the biggies:

4. No i18n support - all i18n support has been ripped out of blackbox.  
This means nothing in blackbox has been translated.  I am unsure if 
this can be fixed before the final release; it's a big job and I'm the 
only one that has been working on the code since March (shaleh is MIA 
again).

5. No UTF-8 support - although required for EWMH, we don't yet have it.  
Support for this will definately need to show up before the final 
release.

Anyway, feel free to download the beta.  Sourceforge is your friend, so 
don't feel shy about reporting bugs/ideas in the tracker there.  Of 
course, I do read the mailing list, too :)

Enjoy!
