I agree with Rony that version 5 of ooRexx should be formally released, I just 
did not raise my voice since this is a discussion amongst the developers.

Due to the delay we may already have lost a major „client, my former employer, 
the European Patent Office, with more than 4000 ooRexx 4 installations. They 
are now going all-in for Python instead, they will never be able to upgrade to 
5.0.0 unless there is an official release.

Can Rick and/or Erich provide a list of „showstoppers“ so they can be worked 
off? Are there REALLY any problems that are so severe that they would prohibit 
a release? I doubt it.

I can offer to set up the macOS Installer on the Jenkins machine. It is Cmake 
driven and uses standard Unix commands in the post-processing. It also includes 
the latest documentation, license, HowTo etc. Example can be found in 
„MacBuilds“ here 
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p66c7g01h4jz5ss/AAAZd_Q2yQddrTHagxPo_UiTa?dl=0>

I have also written test cases for all sample files, they can be uploaded but 
require a little fix in the testing framework (that I can provide as well).

I have set up the documentation (PDF and HTML) to be built on Jenkins every new 
revision (this is where I get it for the macOS installer) what is missing is an 
upload to Sourceforge, this needs to be done with someone with R/W access there.

So what is really missing that prohibits a release? Is it not about time now to 
kill our baby and go ahead and release 5.0 and start working on 5.1?
