Ryan, you'll have to take a call on where you want to make a release from, HEAD or 2.0BRANCH. Currently all the HWPF code lives in HEAD. however, HSSF on HEAD does not pass even the existing unit tests. Do you want to make a copy of the HWPF code in Branch to make a release? Your call. I'll help the best I can. If we release from branch, lets call it 2.6beta1. If we release from head, call it 3.0beta1. Right?
