Hi List!

The current release is just buggy, at least the Win32 version!

As we have some serious (and frequently/annoyingly reported) bugs in the 0.99.0 release it might be a very good idea to release a 0.99.1 soon, even though we didn't had a lot of progress on the planned road map features. We might simply move the planned 0.99.1 features to 0.99.2 in the road map.

To avoid such problems in the future, we might want to release a prerelease version some days (a week?) before the actual release is done.

Hmmm, there was a prerelease for 0.99.0, though it wasn't sent to the
-announce list (just -users and -dev).  (I remember because I submitted
a patch against it.)  Do you think maybe we need a longer pre-release
time or wider distribution?
