With the good luck finding answers to difficult problems on OS X and 64-bit platforms recently, it's time to get a real release out. We made a big effort in July and August to get Raisins out, but settled for the birthday build since there were just too many glaring problems.
We still have speed and stability issues to contend with, but Shoes has come a long ways, enough that it's probably time to release so I can concentrate on Hackety Hack. November 2nd is the date. Rather than doing an exhaustive Shoes day, I'm thinking of just spending more time on IRC next week and people can check in to work out problems whenever they like. Thanks for all the bug reports lately! If your question has gone unanswered, it's only because I haven't found an answer yet. _why
