Eugene's Windows binaries to the ftp server and will <br>
wait 24 hours for the mirrors to sync before doing the alpha
1 release. <br>
Once that's done, we should start getting more feedback.
But, as was <br>
said in our developer's meeting today, the master branch is
pretty <br>
stable, so we hope to be able to move forward pretty quickly
towards beta.<br>
<br>
Toward that end, efforts now should be focused on fixing
bugs and <br>
polishing the new features in 2.4. That said: Are there any
new features <br>
people would still like to get into 2.4 that require format
changes? If <br>
so, then those will be considered. Features that do not
require format <br>
changes can also be considered but are less pressing, since
they could <br>
be added during the 2.4 cycle. Once we have some sense for
the work that <br>
needs doing, we can set a target date for feature freeze.<br>
<br>
Please note that bugs targeted to 2.3.x and 2.4.0 are listed
on the bug <br>
tracker home page <<a

Obviously, not all of these will get fixed, and many of them
are quite <br>
minor. But if you're looking for something to do....<br>

<div>Would it make sense to remove the old wininstaller folder
and do the related stuff to the tarballs build process (how
you call that), so that it includes all the necessary files
for the new installer, before the new stable 2.4.x branch is
created (save some work)? I could do the installer part, it
shouldn't take long, just waiting for the green light.<br

<p>Yes, any work you want to do on the installer stuff, you should
probably do as soon as possible. That will give us plenty of time
to get it all tested with the alpha and beta releases.</p>
