Hi all,

The current CVS dev version of Pixie is 2.07b1.  It has a *lot* of 
changes over 2.06, and we don't want to loose them, but the current 
release of Pixie really needs some stability patches, and I don't have 
time to go over all the changes.  Unfortunately I couldn't see a CVS 
tag relating to the 2.06 release, which makes it difficult to branch 
off a maintenance release...  So I'm thinking of tagging the current 
release as 'dev-17-10-2003' so that it can be revived, and committing 
in the sources of 2.06 as 2.08_01 and going from there.  If anyone's 
got a better idea, please let me know.

In the future, every release should be tagged in CVS as 'release-x-yy'.

So far, my plans for v2.08 are:

	1. apply http://staging.quiup.com/perl/Pixie-2.06-reconnect-bug.patch
	2. add Mark's recursive structures TODO tests
	3. update docs
	4. update the TODO list

I'll get started as soon as we've got a public CVS repository up & 
running.

-Steve
