For everyone's information, here's the status of 1.30.2 release preparation.

Current status:

Two outstanding problems with the win32 regressions (accidentally revealed
bug in "testing.jam" + unexpected failures for the intel-stlport
configuration) have been fixed. Consequently, as at this moment, clean
regressions run on win32 platform shows up correctly and "all green" -

Needless to say, it is expected that things will stay this way until the
release is out.

Things to be done (at large):

1) Linux regressions, on RC_1_30_0. Martin, since fixing the aforementioned
problems involved some changes in the CVS (including some jam files), could
you please do a clean run?

2) Collect the release notes (in progress).
3) Tag for the release, prepare the tarballs.
4) After the tarballs are ready, pre-publish them, and do another round of
regressions (on the tarballs).
5) Publish the release!

If everything goes as planned, the latter can be expected to happen by
Tuesday.
