Re: [Csnd-dev] [EXTERNAL] [Csnd-dev] Csound 7 on Windows

i agree with what you said about setting a release date.
there will always be pull requests and issues, but since long CS7 is 
stable and tested.
it would be great to have it now as a "real" release for users, unless 
there are strong objections.
