Nice work Arun, thanks. A couple comments:
* Regarding version number, any reason we are not using 0.23.0-alpha1 (somebody suggested this last night)? * Regarding Tom's comment about source not included. My understanding is that the release should be a source tarball, the -bin tarball is just a convenience. The -bin tarball should not have to include the source. Thanks.
