Hi guys,
let's take a look of where we are now compared to the original
plan.

This has been done after drug effects vanished ;)

As we discussed already in the previous thread, these two entries are time
consuminig. I think it is reasonable to postpone them to -3 and release -2
within this week. I would say thursday if we can get some feedback from
ATI and SIS users, otherwise thursday and we will kill them all if they
will start complaining after the upgrade [0].
Branden you have done an incredible amount of job for -2 and my thanks go
to everybody that supported us.
Thanks
Fabio
[0] of course i am just kidding but we can't wait forever between each
release. Guys please help us testing!
