The cut-off day for reporting problems is next Tuesday, August the 28th with the release planned for Friday, August the 31th. Besides a large number of bug fixes, this release has the following new features, mainly in the build system: * Support for 64 bit Windows builds. * Project files for VC8. * Optimized DOM parsing (25-30% improvement). * Verbose make mode (make VERBOSE=1). * Support for g++ on AIX and HP-UX. * Support for static library building (runConfigure -s option). Note that the documentation in this release candidate hasn't been updated. The documentation changed will be completed before the release.
