Indeed they are.  I would also be in favor of a new release; certainly 
the sum of the ChangeLog is sufficient to justify a good general 
release IMHO.  Werner's work on CFF is quite significant.

What's more, though FTCache is currently designated as 'beta', I've 
been using it like it's written in stone, and it's functioned very well 
on Windows and Mac platforms.  I am wrapping it in C++, and it's been 
very straightforward to use, which is always a pleasant surprise :-)

I would like to take this opportunity to thank David and Werner for the 
prodigious work they have accomplished, and have helped us accomplish.

Very best regards,

Steve Hartwell

p.s. I also have an ulterior motive specific to the Macintosh port on 
why I can't use the current cvs HEAD of ftmac.c (despite my patches to 
it).  But since this would only concern myself, Garrick, and Leonard 
principally, I would prefer to wait until after a general release to 
bring it up.
