One thing you might have noticed was lacking in the last email was  
any talk about when the GSoC stuff will get into a release. First  
off, congratulations to both Kurt and Danilo for another successful  
GSoC summer.

I'm not sure about the Fortran project (other than that a lot of cool  
stuff happened), but it sounds like much of it was the independent  
fwrap project. We should integrate whatever Cython-side stuff was  
involved as soon as its stable (which is probably now).

As for the C++ project, it doesn't yet satisfy all C++ needs, but it  
still makes wrapping C++ a lot nicer. A bit of cleanup is needed  
before merging into main (e.g. we should verify we are in C++  
compiling mode before allowing C++ features). The holdup is operator  
syntax--currently __add__, etc. are used, but if we support  
references (which are not yet implemented, but should be pretty easy,  
at least getting enough for external declarations) we can support C++  
operator+ style declarations. (This is especially relevant for how  
the [] operator is handled.) I think this decision needs to be  
settled before we push anything out, as I don't want to push the one  
then deprecate it a month later.

For both projects, when they get merged in we'll do a release, but we  
shouldn't hold back releases for them.
