I agree, absence of a flood of bug-reports and feature requests is 
not a bad thing.

The Changelog shows 9 "official" bugs fixed since the last 
release, though Jack, Stefano and I have found a fixed a bunch 
more than that.

I also agree that a release in the near future would be good.  
However, quite a lot has been going on "behind the scenes", and 
some testing of what we have at present would be good.

Some things to look at: 

* The new --gls option to the ADF test (with GUI counterpart 
/Variable/ADF-GLS test.

* The script editor enhancements (indentation and all that).

* Incorporation of Jack's documentation of the functions available 
in "genr" (this is in CVS, but a bit rough-and-ready, and is not 
yet in the Windows snapshot, though it will be soon).

Allin.
