Ken, thank you very much for the update!  It's definitely a nice
shower after a long dry spell.  I assume the target for 5.5 is

features that some have requested over the past few months?  Or
are new features slated for a 5.6 release?

It's good to know that you guys also believe that you should eat
your own dog food.  Can't wait to try out your own dog food too.
Sneakypeeks on the way, right?  ;-)
