Almost everybody has switched to 4.1+, but I've heard that sony people might still be using 4.0.x based compiler. On the other hand, there has a substantial number of bug-fix patches that were applied to 4_0-branch, so it seems to me that it would be a good thing to make a final release. I'm currently traveling and will not be back to "stable" working place before end of next week. Consequently, a 4.0.4 release will be at the end of this month, preceded by a pre-release around 15th of January. After that, I agree with everybody that we should retire 4.0.x. -- Gaby
