My thoughts haven't changed since I posted

There will always be another bug reported.  I think every time I have
made a release, within a maximum of a few hours after putting the tar
file on the ftp site, there has been a new bug reported.  With all the
great new things that are currently in the development version, and
the fact that most of the problems that have been reported have been
around for a while now, yet people are still able to do lots of useful
things even with those problems, I don't see a reason to delay too much
longer.
