Yeah, I'm afraid it wasn't ;) I was kind of +0 at that stage to the idea of a release, so I just left it uncommented-on, and dealt with the bit I wanted to comment about... > > We also want to make sure to stay on top of releases though, otherwise we'll > > end up with the 3.1.8/3.1.9 type of thing. > > Yeah, no kidding.

(This is all standard practice in the early part of every release cycle, in my experience, btw.) Maybe if we build a tarball on Friday? (by we I mean "not I", though, I've seen enough tarballs last week and have a nursery to paint ;) --j.
