Hi, Neil:  I'm holding at 2.0.12, too. I know you were "away" from the
discussion here for a while, so I don't know if you saw another exchange on
that subject, from

It sorta goes against the point of beta development.  However, getting
the 404 Page Not Found implementation and the ability to have wildcarded
names were the last really big items needed for the 2.1 release.
The remaining items -- see PITS:00565 -- are all relatively minor
in terms of stability.

(I'm still hoping to get blogging and page comments integrated really
soon, but I think those can happen independently of the 2.1 release.)

So, I would expect the next few releases to be primarily bug fixes,
documentation updates, and minor improvements, and then 2.1.0
should come out after that (and be fairly stable).  And I don't
have any plans for another beta series for quite some time.

However, there's one last item I'd like to clean up while we're
in beta (see next message).

Pm



So I'm just waiting, because it looks like it should be soon, now.
