Re: [parapin-internals] [parapin-users] Parapin 1.5.0 beta2 release available

[Al H. <al...@ho...>]

	Everyone:

	It's been remarkably quiet on the parapin front this week.  I'm
going to assume that at least some people have picked up the beta release,
have tested it, and have not found any problems.

	If it goes another week without any reported issues, I think we
should push it out as the official parapin 1.5.0 release.  Please let the
lists know if you think that would not be a good idea.

	Also: I know a couple of support request emails came in earlier this
week, my day job has been keeping me busy...    8^)=      I'll get to them
as soon as I can.

-Al
