A release version definately NOT.  However, the deadline for the current
beta2 release is end of May so I think we can assume with a relative high
degree of confidence that beta3 will be released around this time.

Chris Young mentioned that he was thinking about making the next beta a
worldwide beta (i.e. not just available for download via Compuserve) but he
may decide to wait until beta4.  I judge the chances at 50 % or better...

Keep your fingers crossed!
