    As announced 20 days ago, it is time to start testing the current
    unstable development version. We are still missing a few backends,
    but hopefully they will be added as soon as possible. I will wrap up
    a new snapshot after the weekend, and move over to the next phase.

    The test phase is the most important part before of a new release. We
    need to test the snapshots as much as possible, to make sure no stupid
    bugs survives before the next release. Try to compile it on as many
    platforms and compilers as possible. Test it on as many scanners as
    possible. If you find any problems, report them to the list or send a
    message to the maintainer.

    I plan to end the test phase after tree weeks. When it is over, we
    enter code freeze where we only grave fixes bugs and update
    documentation to make sure everything is up to date when we make a
    release. I hope a 14 day code freeze is enough.

    Schedule:

      2000-01-22 Start test phase
      2000-02-12 Start code freeze
      2000-02-26 New release

    If everyone pull together, we can have a new release out the door
    within 1.5 month.

    Happy hacking,
