Hi Mark and all,
+1 for a new release.
Main priority htmlunit1.1 and if possible the other dependancies mentioned.
Don't personally care about the other items.
dna seemed to me to arguing for 2.2 rather than 3, but maybe I
misunderstood. I agree that unless there is significant new functionality or
a need to rewrite our scripts, should not need to go to 3. Is there either
of these?
If 3.0 would take some time, what about a 2.2 right now, then target 3.0next?
cheers,
John

This was the question I wanted to ask (to you included ;-)).
Everybody agrees or nobody cares?
I will start changing target release of all fixed issues since 2.1 to 3.0.
