Eric is out for a while, I am so swamped with other stuff you would
not believe it, this is why there has not been much of an SGI
presence on the list this week. There are still plans for a new
release, it will be 2.4.19 based, but making a release is not just
push the button and out it pops. There appear to be a number of
open issues in the current code base which we need to fix before
we bless something with the title of a release. So it will probably
be a while before there is one.
