A note to the adventurous souls already using 1.4.0cvs: I plan to commit a couple of core changes that will make 1.4.0cvs unusable for a couple of days. The situation should improve quickly, but if you plan to submit your thesis tomorrow, do not run 'cvs up'.
This affects only the current development version (1.4.0cvs). The stable branch (1.3.x) is safe. For serious work, 1.3.3 is recommended. You have been warned. Andre'
