I see a stone_soup-0.8 branch on gitorious, with no commits on it.
(and commit mails are broken)
It's definitely not a good -- or even acceptable -- time to branch right
now. There's too many things that are unfinished or unstable.
The biggest part is Unicode support -- without it, Crawl is uninstallable on
Windows in any non-"western" locale without stupid tricks. Not to mention
people watching your games on CDO being unable to see what you're doing if
you're not using 7-bit ASCII.
Other stuff includes:
* ench split: the temporary spells are dubious but there are no good
replacements yet
* some of new monsters are pretty buggy. I added temp vaults to get some
feedback, and results are not pretty.
(they could be disabled, though)
* missing stuff:
* a good part of Ashenzari (wrath, piety flow, ...)
* melding weapons
* sane feature mimics (can be disabled)
* general stability: there's several crashes a day on CDO, and from Mantis I
see tiles are even worse
