I'd love to release something this week, but we need to ensure that it 
works reasonnably well on a few
distributions first. For now, I had success on Ubuntu Hoary 5.10 and 
Mandrake 9.2 installs, but I clearly
won't have the time (and disk space) to test more than a few distros.

That's why they'll probably be one or more "release candidates" before 
the official one. I hope to upload one
tomorrow. We'd appreciate if you could test it as soon as possible on 
Sarge and testing.

Regards,

- David
