Hello Chris, I have just tested 0.9.0 RC15 from CVS against the bug 22; the test showed that bug 22 is fixed. Thank you. Postponing fixing bug 23 to 0.9.1 is suboptimal but acceptable IMHO. Given that you say that fixing the bug is too much work, given that the bug is fairly easy to spot (hard to overlook) for the user, and given how late 0.9.0 already is, it seems excusable to leave the bug in the final release in spite of the bug being a data loss one. I know of no other serious bugs that block final release 0.9.0. I would have one last thorough look at 0.9.0 RC15 after it is released at SourceForge, and then I would give it a go ahead.
