    Hi Folks,
             We've been discussing the final strech to 1.0 on IRC. Here is
    what we plan to do.

    We will just keep fixing bugs from now to 1.0 is released.

    On Friday we will make another release, 0.99.3. We plan this to be the
    last release before 1.0. The idea is to get binaries out to users who can
    do final checks for us. Assuming no show stoppers show up, we will then
    make a 1.0 release in late March.

    Yes there will be bugs in 1.0. However no software is bug free and we
    would like to get 1.0 out of the way so we can address the major changes
    we'll need to make to handle new features like Tables, footnotes,
    embedding, better font and glyph handling and equations.

    The 1.0 branch will acquire bug fixes but no new features.

    So we need volenteers for packaging as before. We would especially
    appreciate people taking the time to do thorough tests of the 0.99.3
    release.

    Thanks very much,

    Martin
