Starting May 4, to ease the transition to regular releases, we'll not so much freeze as slush the code base. Please don't do anything destabilizing (to the code base :-)) in the next few days. I expect the slush will last a few days as well.
The plan is to make a release branch for each release, then merge its changes into the trunk after release. Now that we're subversioned, branching is much less painful than with CVS. So, once we make the branch -- and I'll announce when we do -- everybody can pick up with the development activity again. -- Chip Salzenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
