I was trying to push out a new version back in early December.  But I got a
lot of push-back from users who thought I should let the code "bake" a
little longer.

Of course, since then there have been lots more changes.  I'm not sure
letting Fossil "bake" is really an option.  The code is progressing
rapidly, and trying to force a "quiet period" prior to a release will
probably not accomplish anything other than slow down development.
Besides, very few people are going to test it until the official release
anyhow...

So probably someday soon I'll wake up one morning and decide "today is a
good day to release Fossil version 1.25" and it will be so.  No beta.  No
baking time.  No quiet period.  It will just happen.

FWIW, I'm pretty much always using the tip of trunk myself on my desktop,
and on the servers running the Fossil, SQLite, and Tcl/Tk websites.   Trunk
stays stable and perfectly safe to store mission-critical code thanks to
the use of a transactional database for storage and the techniques outlined
in http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/selfcheck.wiki
