In May 2004 we had a lot of tasks to do before we could make a release, including finishing updating the manual. Everyone wanted a release, but few people helped update the manual. We also had various other serious problems to be solved, some of which you have helped solve. We are much closer now. We are even making progress on those horrible memory clobbering bugs--but this occurred because I've pressured for it.
