Waiting for the number of open bugs to come down. I've been overwhelmed for the last couple months, so I haven't been able to help much on that front, sadly. I'm hoping to being the prestest around December/January. > I see new features being committed to the trunk and plans of extending > these features being discussed, so I thought I'd ask: is it okay to > add new features at this time, and if so, which features can be added? Other than the `daemon' mode, which features have been added recently? I have no intention to extend the daemon mode before the release. > For example, I have a working version of getloadavg for MS-Windows, > which would allow "M-x display-time" to show the load in the mode line > when Emacs runs on Windows.
