I'm just checking mail and won't have time to check Win32, so you'll need to
hear from someone else.

It did at least build for me on Friday, which is better than the previous
tag. It's been a while since we've heard one way or the other on QNX or Be.
You might consider sending private email (or IRC pings) to the maintainers
on those platforms in case they're having trouble keeping up with the flood
of list traffic.

Without Tinderbox, one day is just not a lot of notice for a release, and
I'd be leery of repeating our experience with the last tagged release.

Dumb question. (I assume I've missed something here.)

If 0.9.1 was uploaded but never announced, is there any need to jump all the
way to 0.9.2 instead of tagging 0.9.1-1 and announcing *that* as 0.9.1?

Given what I see in Bugzilla and the UI, it still feels like 1.0 is more
than a few weeks a way, and I hate to use up all the low version numbers too
quickly. (The thought of weekly release 0.9.27 preceding 1.0 makes me
cringe.)
