No, personally I would prefer this weekend to finish off a few minor issues:

Thread lib better #errror messages
Patch to msvc-stlport-tools.jam (documented STLPORT_VERSION currently has no
effect).
Add vc7-stlport and vc7.1-stlport toolsets
Minor patch to test/src/execusion_monitor.cpp (reported a while ago, but no
response).

All those are ready to go.

What were the gcc-2.95 issues?

However I think we should set a definite timetable for release now, how
about branching right after Christmas with a release for early in the New
Year?  Depends a lot on how busy people are.

John.
