sounds good in general, I don't mind much about the exact version 
number. I'm already in my holidays and working on a patch to reduce 
overall memory consumption. I'd like to get this into the upcoming 
release if possible...
Then, the documentation comes to my mind. There were a few voices that 
wanted to change the layout of the new DocBook stylesheets, but nothing 
has happened so far. I like the design as-is, but we probably should put 
some time aside for straightening out the author/copyright blobs.
Finally, what's the status of the VersionedSharedLibrary stuff? I 
remember that there were still some open issues last time I heard about 
it. We should be sure that it really works before pushing it out the door...

Best regards,

Dirk
