Hello list.

Yes it is true that we should ship something out, finally.
I therefore changed my plans and will ship out a v14.9.0 which
does not include the three major features that i am looking
forward to, which i want to see happen before i turn to the other
two projects i want to maintain.  It still will bring a large
number of improvements and new features.

So my plan is to release a v14.9.0-pre3 in this year.  I have to
do two or three things which need to go into that first, though.
Thereafter there is one necessary and still missing improvement to
message lists which must be in the final release, and IMAP i want
to reinstantiate.

Then scan-build(1) and Coverity.com runs, i need to dig into
Mailman to be able to move the ML to my domain, i finally need to
buy a new system to be able to do test runs on a number of systems
(in practice all my VMs lay around unused for over a year, since
my main machine died).  I need to convert the manual to HTML via
grohtml(1), which will need at least half a week due to the needed
fixups.

Say, a .0 around the end of January, followed by .1 ... .3 which
bring in the major features, and i hope it will be before April
1st that we are there.  (At this intermediate step, that is to
say.)

I wish Christians a merry Christmas, all a happy new year (shall
that be possible with the political frictions and sabre-rattling
that is to be expected, lets just hope for the best, and do
something about it).

Ciao!
