Hi, let's put it this way: I have no problem in doing an intermediate release. NEither idealistic nor by work. For my unterstanding, releases are time driven, not feature driven. So you're currently not feeling good for having a release build? I asked for a release one month ago, but I have to admit, not inbetween, anymore. So if not more people are worrying, I think we should have a try ???

I've been asking for a intermediate release for a month now, and frankly now is not a good time. HEAD is going to need a
while (again)
after all of these header changes. After we got rbuild stabilized would have been a good time, but several of the developers
are stuck
in this "No more 0.2.x releases" mentality.
We are not going to get to 0.3.0 anytime soon unless someone other than arty works on networking (or we change the requirements for 0.3.0).

We need regular releases to keep public interest. New releases generate interest outside of the community, which can only be a good thing, even if they don't contain radical new features.
I agree with WD about networking. Arty is busy with the new job, and nobody else is working on networking. Considering networking is meant to be the key feature for the 0.3 release, then either people need to start working on networking or the 0.3 goalposts need to be changed.
I would be more than happy to help with networking in any way I can, however I'm not yet up to a standard to get my hands dirty with the core infrastructure. With a mentor, and a little guidance, maybe myself and a few others might be of more use in this area. (this is where I'm aiming)
