Martin,
Sorry, I missed this somehow, but it certainly sounds fine to me. And
it looks like I've found a copy of pre0.9.4 to start testing. I should
be able to spend some time tomorrow testing.

This makes sense. We should tag a 0.9.4-prerelease-1 first. If that's
OK,
it becomes 0.9.4, otherwise we fix it and tag 0.9.4-prerelease-2. Fix
bad
bugs, in it etc. until we have a 0.9.4.
Of course we all hope that 0.9.4-prerelease-1 is 0.9.4.
Does this make sense?
One upshot of this that we can have bug fixes only between the first
prerelease tag and the real release.
If people are happy with this, I'll do it.
Cheers
Martin
