Hi,

I feel your pain, and I wish I could speed things up a bit. I had a
few days off just when Sourceforge was hacked. As we have quite a list
of patches and bugs to work on, I was reluctant to just go ahead
without the ability to check them in one by one. CVS came back online
just today, so I'll try to fix the remaining issues in the small
amount of time that I can currently devote to my software projects.

In any case, any kind of help is greatly appreciated to get the new
release out anytime soon. Test the cvs version on any platform you can
get hold of. Test the drivers with the latest database engines, as I
personally can't always live on the bleeding edge. Proofread the docs
and see whether they reflect the latest changes.

regards,
Markus
