Because of lack of time, and because I'm not entirely sure we've gotten
all the reported bugs, I'm moving the release of 0.9.6h until thursday
night (swedish time).  Please test the snapshots for the 0.9.6 branch
until then, on as many platforms as you have available and you feel
you have the time for.

Today, I'm going to release the 4th beta of the 0.9.7 branch.

If all this seems confusing, please consider this:

there are some places where considerable time has been taken to
evaluate 0.9.6g and earlier 0.9.6 releases.  The 0.9.6h release is
mostly a bugfix release, which means that those who need to stick with
the 0.9.6 series for a while can get all the fixes that have been
reported while not having to do the enormous evaluation that some do.

The 0.9.7 branch contains a large number of changes.  It's also the
version that's taken the longest for us to develop (more than two
years after the release of 0.9.6!).  It will probably take some time
before it has the same level of acceptance as the 0.9.6 series, and
for the places that do that, it probably means going through a full
evaluation again.
