Hi List!

The last release was at Tuesday, December 27, 2005 which is more than 3 and a half months ago!

Beside the "common security related bugs :-(" I know of a serious Win32 bug with problems regarding Unicode characters in file names which makes a new release a good idea in my eyes.

I won't have much time in the near future to finish up the privilege separated capture code (and to be honest I don't have much motivation either) so don't wait for this.

Having the discussion about a stable release is one thing, but having no release for such a long time with a lot of known bugs is probably a bad idea IMHO.

Regards, ULFL
