Damn, releasing is a pain in the ass sometimes. First, you have to put all the cool new features you want to do on hold while you get everything release ready. Then, you realize that not everything you wanted in the release will get in completely. All in all, its just generally irritating. Developing software would be so much easier if you never had to release ;)
Then, when you think 'wow, this is under control, no big deal' you discover a whole area of code you hadn't thought about that needs to make it into the release :)
Luckily because I attempted to start the release process almost a month before the release, it looks like we will get most everything in that we wanted to. Now we just have a couple loose ends to tie up.
I know our requirements to run are a bit high right now, but the team would really appreciate it if we can get some other people running this, and doing things with it we might not have thought of. Please, if you have a chance, grab a snapshot, and attempt to test this out. We idle around in #mono and #md-devel (on irc.gimp.net) most of the time, and are able to help with any installation problems you might have.
Anyway, the February 27th date still stands, and hopefully we wont have to sacrifice any features to make it :)
