Well since November of 2001, it's just been me in the driver's seat, so
no code freeze or anything was actually necessary.

When there are major ebay changes that break bidwatcher, I tend to be
quicker about the release.  When it is just features and bugs fixed, I
usually ask the list for people to try and have as of late been
providing a pointer to http://bidwatcher.sf.net/bidwatcher-cvs.tar.gz
which is pulled hourly from CVS.

As far as testing, I make sure I can open up several types of auctions
successfully, and I like to try to place one or two bids that I know I
won't win, but to see if they get registered on eBay.
