4.99.1 was released 2006-02-04, so 'only'  ~1 year ago, but yeah, we
should release another one... :-)

There are are some things which are kind of broken, but they've been
so for a while so I guess we'll get to it when we get to it.  Every
one is using CVS head anyway so we might as well call it what it is: a
release.


Now would be a great time to some final clean ups --

Has anyone built it on Windows lately? I'm sure we've added new source
files but I don't recall seeing any changes to the Windows build
stuff.

Does it build and run OK for people on their weird platform of choice?

I tried on ia64/linux on HP's build farm while trying out some
autoconf changes and it segfaults during early start up with an
alignment error. Maybe this is to do with the logging changes? Haven't
had a chance to look at this yet...

Need to trawl backwards through the ChangeLog and see if there's
anything interesting that should be added to the NEWS file.

Would be nice to fix up the sample-config.tcl, I think a lot of things
have changed.  This is a lot easier to check now with a simple grep
-C3 Ns_Config *.c

If anyone feels like making a final push with documentation, now would
be a good time. Even just consolidating some of the many single pages
into a group of related commands on one page makes a big difference,
IMHO.

e.g. 
http://www.crystalballinc.com/vlad/software/naviserver/files/mann/ns_atsignal.html
here the commands are arranged in the order they fire within the
lifetime of the server.

Some build warnings:

adpparse.c: In function 'NsAdpParse':
adpparse.c:219: warning: 'ae' may be used uninitialized in this function
adpparse.c:219: warning: 'as' may be used uninitialized in this function

Should we give it a week or so for people to do what they need to do
and then aim for a release?


Here's a snapshot tarball for people to test. I'll update it as
updates enter CVS:
