I would second sebastian's response. I must admit we probably don't
release often enough. I can't complian really, since sebastian and
mike do all the work releasing jmeter. Hopefully I can be more helpful
with the 2.1 release, but mike and sebastian are much better at it.

In terms of new features in the next release, I don't know what will
get in. The new stuff that I've added, which aren't in 2.0.2 include:

distribution graph
save listener and samplers to PNG
JMS sampler (pub/sub written by me and queue written by  Martijn Blankestijn)

I still haven't gotten around to writing the EJB sampler, but one day
I'll write the sampler :)
