Thanks for the heads-up. Rickard is storming ahead on 2.0, which is great. I have taken 3 days off next week, and hope to be able to finally squeeze enough time out to get the 1.4 release out the door, so I also can turn my attention to 2.0.
More comments about 2.0 in next mail. -- Niclas On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 11:57 AM, Rickard Öberg <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > There's not been much update lately, as I've been able to (finally) have > some vacation.
