Just my two cents; lots of people are waiting for the 0.9.7 release, 
many for over a year.  If I remember correctly, the one or two bugs 
that still are pending have been pending for over a year.  How about 
rolling those "fixes" into a special release and let the many 
thousands of us that do not have to support 64 bit platforms be on 
our way.

Nobody will give you a timeframe. (This is not meant as an offense. 
We are more
or less waiting for one or two bugs to be fixed, especially the 
BIGNUM
problem on 64bit platforms.)

It is our intention to be as compatible as possible except for 
changes
required to fix bugs and extend functionality.
