[Botan-announce] Importance notice

[Jack L. <ll...@ac...>]

Hi,

Botan 1.2.2 was released today, and, barring any bugs being found, I think
that's it for the 1.2.x versions. The support for Windows is nearly as
solid as it is for Unix, surely good enough that people can use Botan
seriously on both platforms. And so, at this point I am taking an extended
vacation from further work on Botan. I've been feeling a tad burned out,
and in addition to having a number of other projects that I'd like to work
on, I really need to find a job.

However, please don't read this the wrong way: I am still maintaining
Botan, I'm happy to answer any questions or to fix bugs as they are found,
and eventually I will start working on it again. It's simply that I'm not
going to be starting the 1.3.x development tree for a least a few months,
maybe longer.

It's now 11:30 local time, and I'm off to hit the bars.

Later,
  Jack
