Jeff has already commented a sensible strategy. For my part, I have been
tracking cvs during 1 and 1/2 month, with problems only a couple of times. What
I do, if I find big problems is to update back "-D XXX" a few days, to the last
version I remember good. Currently I'm in 2000-08-22 version, until it builds
back.
WRT release dates, I'd expect it in a few days.

The current PortletBrowser/Seaarcher is very simple. It just look for substrings
in certain fields of the Portlets. I have patched it to have better working xsl
and also a lookup on the registry, instead of getting the portlet first, as it
was in 1.2B1.
I don't have plans to work more on it. I will commit the changes soon (after I
can go back to -HEAD cvs).
