I pushed out a stable release now. Let's see if we get more testing than for the pre-releases; we can always release something in the coming weeks/month to fix build/portability stuff. There isn't a lot of testing on BSD, Solaris, AIX and other non-GNU systems as far as I know. I wasn't able to update the NEWS section on savannah, maybe we don't use that? If not, I'll fix README-release. Now is a good time to do some changes that I think we should do but was pending the release, any thoughts on the following? * arp tool * nc (netcat) tool * fix all warnings with autoconf 2.71 - I didn't want to touch this before 2.0 since we had succesful build reports, but there are plenty of old m4 constructs that we should use gnulib tools for instead. * use gitlog-to-changelog instead of manual ChangeLog entries * enhance man pages so they fully supersede NetKit and BSD man pages * generally use gnulib for portability more than we use today. - gnulib has fts.c that we have a custom libls/ for - getaddrinfo/getnameinfo with IDN support to simplify IDN complexity - more system header files replacements - ruserok/wtmp stuff * Mingw/cygwin support? * Remove Kerberos V4 support? I'm not sure there are any usable Kerberos V4 implementations around anymore, and it is is single-DES-only so they are completely insecure anyway. Please add more stuff! Or disagree. /Simon
