I suspect (but Amir is the authority here since he is coding...) that we could
put out a test-release (with little to no docs on SSL) in a few weeks. At
that point, testing the code and reporting back successes and failures would
be useful (and could hurry us to put out a "stable" release sooner). Trying
my highly imprecise crystal ball, I'd expect a first 0.4.x release with
SSL/TLS support in September 2008 (again, Amir may have a better idea). In
the worst case, I'd still expect to have a solid stable release by the end of
the year.
