Currently the sparse wiki is up. I have been syncing bits from chrisl branch from time to time. I just need to: - Get a PGP key. - Sign the new release tag. - Run magic git command to generate stat of changes. - Add change log. - make dist. - Upload the tar package. - Announce the release to mailing list. I will cut 0.4.2.0-rc1 one over the week end.
