  It's been good to get these bugs upstreamed and fixed. The last few
weeks of this release have been good, as most everyone has been pitching
in and fixing things. Plus it's been fun to see Bastiaan plugging in
after a long break, as he was one of the people involved in the very
beginning of Gnash.

  There is an rc3 file up in the repositories for testing. One advantage
of switching to a rolling release instead of a schedule is we can take
the time to fix all the critical bugs. Whenever the release comes out,
the distributions will pick it up anyway. The latest release candidate
is at:
