Obviously, your the best judge of when to release and it certainly makes sense to wait rather than rush what seems like a relatively large release.
You mention loose ends that need to be tied up. Anything that someone like me could help with? I still consider myself a novice with Buildr but maybe I could help with documentation? I'm willing to help out if it means getting the release out quicker. I'm also anxious to get my hands into the plugin/extensions system that was mentioned a while back. I've been using 1.3.0 for the last few days without issue. -Shane On 2/1/08, Assaf Arkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was hoping to have the 1.3 release today, but apparently that won't > happen.
