Thanks, I think - pasting that into links ( still building firefox )
gives me tickets 1-100 of 4017 (highest priority defects, tickets
#13 to #517 ).
I'll look tomorrow when firefox is built.
But I'm more concerned about things that people who have been
following individual packages know are likely to be released soon

OK, thanks for confirming that August 15 is the cutoff.
