Hello everyone,

I'd like to propose that we release a new build soon (as in "in about 2-3
weeks"
soon)

There have been quite a few advancements since 0.7.14 was released, but we're
still hitting quite a few bugs. In no particular order, we need to look at/fix
and stress test at least the following areas:

Outstanding issues/bugs/thinkos/new additions:
*free/delete (delete[]) mismatches, delete vs. delete[] mismatches, etc...
*memory leaks/allocations (esp. regarding the new hashtable)
*the new hashtable
*templates & clipart
*AbiObject

Outstanding Dialog work:
*new/template dialog (all but unix & qnx, but unix & qnx still need
work)
*styles dialog (all but unix)
*clip-art dialog (all but gnome)
*lists dialog (all but unix)

Outstanding misc. work:
*Checkin tempalates and ClipArt, make sure that 'make install' installs them

Hopeful work, but won't slow the release:
*the BeOS port

Outstanding items that need to be done/finished/checked in before the release:
*Andrew Dunbar's encoding work
*A few things re. styles

TODO:
*check that CJK support still works

BUG #'s:
*can't get to abisource.com at the moment from my DNS. Jskov probably has a
great list here.

I'd really like for everyone to get into bugfixing mode if they have some time
so that we can polish up the remaining features, fix the bugs, and get a
wonderful release out the doors. If there's anything that I'm missing or that
you'd really like to see go into this release, please speak up and make your
case.

I won't be around much until June 3 to do much of this work, and even then I'm
strapped for time, but you can expect me to do more than my share of the work
:-) So, this 2 week thing is very tentative. If you're looking for some work to
do that isn't all that hard to do, just email me and I'll point you in the right
direction.

You all have done a great job guys! You should be proud :-) I sure am.

Take care,
Dom
