I encourage everybody to download and test it with various platforms,
compilers, and applications. 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.


Thanks,
Boris
