Please be gentle...

I know this kind of post in a dev list can be perceived as a war cry, I
hope that is not the case here. That being said, I'm curious when a new
release may be coming. A year and half of patches, with no official
release seems rather excessive. 

I know at this point many have probably been forced to roll their own
release based on 1.4.0 and a myriad of patches to suit each persons own
purposes, I'm getting up there myself. I fear that if I keep going I'm
going to have to go through a whole battery of testing myself after
upgrading to any official release... I'd like to see this situation not
snowball out of control. Or is that the problem, has it already become
an untamed beast of code?

Ok, flak jacket is on. Let me have it. =)
