Fine by me. I see a few things have been sorted out, like that tasks test. It actually failed for me during the release process I go through here and reported it in IRC, Adam grabbed it and committed a fix that I tested and it worked again fine. Based on the comments though it did appear to be a problem for some people and not others... However given it's been fixed, and the few other annoying issues with 0.88 I'm more than happy to get 0.90 out. It might be worth checking with Adam to see where he got to his reworking of the API's. I'd like to get 0.90 out there and solid to allow time between the next few releases should we need to the time stablise after the API changes.
