I've added a second digit behind the point for minor fixes (eg. 2.01 will be a small change, 2.1 will be a big change). > Are things still in the development stage?

There are no changes imminent. What I am working on now is instructions (to go on the BL2 site) for installling various packages (including X). As I said in a previous message, I have successfully installed manpages, X and flwriter on BL2. It's just a matter of writing up the step-by- step. I think I may also release a small (optional) package for X that installs a pre-configured icewm and default settings for VGA. This should all be done in the next week or two. Remember that all the BL1 documentation and add-ons developed gradually over a two-year period. It's going to take a wee while to get BL2 up to that level.
