[RkWard-devel] rkward 0.3.7pre2

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi!

It's been a long time since the last release of rkward. There's always so much 
more that could be done for the next release, and many things I planned to 
add for 0.3.7 are not yet there. Still it's about time for a new release.

Therefore I have prepared a new preview release. Source distribution is 
available here:
http://rkward.sourceforge.net/temp/rkward-0.3.7pre2.tar.gz

If you can find a time, please take a look at it, and report any bugs you 
find. (ChangeLog is attached at the end of this mail, so you can see where 
things have changed).

Stefan, are any of the plugins you've been working on ready, or close to 
ready? If so, now would be a good time to send them to me, so they can get 
included in 0.3.7.

Regards
Thomas
