Normally releases carry the 'beta' stamp until I have tested them on my 
production servers. This hasnt happened so far because:
a. There are no known bugs in 1.1.9
b. Ive been working on non-zope non-zodb projects for a while, so there hasnt 
really been any non-critical maintenance of my production servers.

But yes, it is overdue. Thanks for the nudge.


On the broader topic of DirectoryStorage roadmap, the development rate has 
slowed significantly over the last year. The last major development was the 
addition of replication in version 1.1. There are several outstanding items 
on the todo list 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/dirstorage/DirectoryStorage/doc/todo?rev=1.29
that, at the current development pace, are unlikely to get any attention for 
the forseeable future. None of those items are sufficiently interesting to my 
employer (who sponsored replication) or any other previous sponsors to 
justify spending any time.

I would be interested in feedback from the user community on this subject. 
Anything not on the list that should be? Are any of those outstanding todo 
items a critical omission? Any interest in a commercial (open source, or not) 
implementation of any of those items?

Thanks,
