I posted a message to c.l.p about the upcoming alpha 1. Just in case anybody here's been snoozing, 2.5 alpha 1 is coming up real quick, hopefully within a couple of weeks. If you have any *major* features (particularly implemented in C) that you want to see in 2.5, bring it up now. I want to strive for feature completeness by alpha 1. I know we will have some .py modules that won't make it into alpha 1, but they really should make it in by alpha 2 or be deferred to 2.6. For any important bugs or patches, add comments to them. There's still a bunch that I want to see go in. If all goes well, with alphas 1 & 2, maybe we could even skip an alpha 3? We can make a beta 3 if things don't go as well as I anticipate. I'm hoping the buildbot helped shake out a lot of the bugs we might have seen in the alphas. We'll have to wait and see what makes sense. n
