  Modified:    .        STATUS.html
  Log:
  With info from Costin, marked additional items as completed by naming
  the release as 3.2 or 3.3m1.  Most other items from the Tomcat 3.2 version
  of the document were moved to an "Ideas For The Future" section at the
  end of this document.  A few were removed since they are no longer
  applicable to Tomcat 3.x development, such as the discussions relating
  to Tomcat 4.0.
  
  Other miscellaneous changes.
