No, I can see a constantly growing memory usage.

But that's the point, isn't it ? What is in CVS can't handle a  
moderately large scan, so I do not see the point into doing a  
"release" that some distros might decide to include (as -devel) even  
though it can cause harm to a lot of end-users who'll loose their  
scans results.

There is absolutely no urgency in doing a release, and given the  
state of the code there's no benefit other than wasting memory all  
over the place.

I'll do a beta when I feel a beta is ready. There are things I want  
to add in HEAD, as well as others I want to get rid of.

Now is absolutely not the time to release anything, the code is far  
from being ready nor complete.
