Re: Velocity Hackathon - October 9/10
All the known bugs, of course. We might release if a couple of bugs remain stubbornly unfixed, but I'd like to get most done. We've fixed dozens since 1.4. It'll be a pleasure to stop telling users who report the same problem for the umpteenth time use the source control head, it's fixed or this is a known issue, we'll get to it eventually.
