Please provide a status as I have a customer breathing down my neck. I need to implement something soon, and if this is nto the answer I need to know asap.

Thanks, and I know you guys are doing the best you can.

Actually, it has been posted here many times by Robert that the next release should be available this week, if that's not true I would like to know so I can stop waiting to base my efforts with this project and just start my own.

I understand "it will be ready when it's ready" and the volunteer nature of the project, but providing release times within at least a margin of error of a certain week would only serve to strengthen the project's support.

I also think that many people would prefer anything rather than a stable release - something to consider. Some open source projects actually allow unstable release downloads (or current source repository downloads) so that at least people can see how things are intended to work in the next stable version.

In my opinion holding back releases just seems to slow development down and frustrate people who would otherwise be fervent supporters. There may be some great additions to the code base that could come from non-project members that are simply missed under the current model.
