Please hold off. I *really* appreciate the help with debugging here and with POGL but it's time for code freeze. We're currently at 96% pass on the automated testing and the fails, when we have them are usually only a single test. I'm going to have to take of my PDL hat after this week and I want to see PDL-2.4.4 through before then---even if we are waiting for the permissions stuff to get sorted out for the final upload. It has been so successful having the developers pre-releases to debug the little things before the main release, I don't see any problem about having minor point releases more often than every 2+ years.... :-) In fact, I would like to see us push a developers release every quarter or so. Those can be promoted to full point releases if the testing and user response is good.
