It probably needs a few other bits and pieces.
The criteria for a 0.5 release needs to be a stable datastore - no more and no less. If we start saying "ooh, just let's add this feature" we will always be two weeks away from a release, but never actually get there. If people wish to fix other stuff before 0.5, then they are welcome to do it (provided that the stuff they add is sufficiently trivial that it won't require weeks of testing), but we can't add new preconditions for release, the last precondition we added was an encrypted datastore - and that delayed us by 18 months! To those who don't see the urgency - please remember that the current stable release of Freenet is 0.3 - that is technically the release we should be recommending to most users. Hands up anyone who thinks that we should be recommending 0.3 over the current code in CVS (lets say after Matthew has had a few days to work out any remaining DS bugs)? Ok, those with their hands up - download 0.3.9.2 it from http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=978 and see if you still agree.
