[Mnet-devel] about merging v0.6 patches onto v0.7, and about v0.6.2 announcement

[zooko at zooko.com]

FYI, Myers and Baka are merging everything except egtp from v0.6 to v0.7.
This is to get bugfixes, cleanups, and the like which were committed to v0.6.2
but which someone (usually me) neglected to port to v0.7 at the time.

I'm going to merge the egtp stuff, since currently I am the only person who can
look at the egtp source code without suffering strabismus.  By the way, I very
much intend that this will change in v0.7.  My main priority, after the merge
work and fixing any critical bugs that interfere with the other hackers, is to
write docs and simplify designs so as to make v0.7 more simple and transparent.

By the way, we still *are* going to release v0.6.2 sometime soon.  The fact
that you haven't heard much about it on this list shows that hackers are bored
with it, which might be a good sign that it is ready for end users to play
with.

The main thing we are waiting for before announcing v0.6.2 is binary packages
(mainly the w32 package from Arno).  Something else that would be nice either
before or after the public release announcement is more widespread testing and
reports about how it worked.
