“I’m going to stick my neck out a mile and say that I think this
is a stable release. Doing so, of course, is in reality a clever
plan which ensures that at least three embarrassing bugs will be
discovered within the next 24 hours…”

“Seriously, I am now out of stuff to do on the CML2 code itself.
The code now seems to be up to acceptable speed even on slow
machines, the UI feature requests have petered out, and this
release seems to be feature-complete with respect to everything
that can be done before the 2.5 cutover.”
