Thanks for the tests, and the complements. :-)  Unfortunately, there are still 
a number of bugs I know of ( support for Sideboards / *house games ), and 
probably several I don't know of. This is also the first time I've tried 
working on Knights since starting with my new employer ( and new schedule ), 
so I'm still not sure how much time I can devote to it. If I had to pick a 
target, though, I'd like to get a release ( pre-translation ) before 
September. This date is, however, very fluid.

In the past we always waited for translations before releasing anything, but 
now I think I'd like to create prereleases ( release candidates? ) without 
translations, and then deliver the version again with translations and any 
minor bugfixes that wouldn't break the translator's work. Any comments or 
suggestions on how to handle this will be, as always, welcomed. :-)

BTW, you got to test the Email? I didn't get much testing time with it myself, 
so I wasn't sure how stable it was. ( vs another Knights user or XBoard 
user ) I guess I'm too embarased to show off my poor chess skills. ;-)
