Hi Abderrahim,
Sorry I didn't have time to look at this last week.
Looks like we have a lot of nice fixes for obscure issues here, plus some
enhancements to the annoying build plan element count (this possibly needs
to be rethought so that the total in the status message increases as the
build progresses... to have some semblance of an accurate progress report).
Anyway this is my enthusiastic +1 for this release !
Cheers,
-Tristan
