Hi Mark, I'm generally in agreement. At last weeks developers meeting it was agreed to extend the feature freeze for 'a few days' in order to get these features in. That was a bit vague, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I would be loathe to set a new deadline as that may encourage people to take their foot off the peddle a little and obviously the sooner things are committed the better.
Either Tim or myself continue to be in contact with the developers of all the issues you list and I am hopeful we will see them all being resolved soon. With regards to DS-881, I think there was general agreement that this issue could be considered a bug fix and was therefore not subject to the feature freeze deadline. Its worth pointing out to all that bug fixes are permitted until the testathon. Obviously though that particular issue will require a significant change to the build process so it would be good to have it discussed on Wednesday. Cheers, Robin.
