As I've said numerous times on lists and direct to people, I've had several
major problems which have hampered things since November, but I am now slowly
catching up. The problems have been:
* 2 SCSI discs dying on my linux box 2 weeks ago
* changing ISP's (now resolved)
* Changing jobs, which mean I have to limit how much time I can spend at the
moment.
* UK Dialup has been horrendous this last week

Now, my linux box is up and running, but no networking. Due to my job Thursday
evenings are out now (learning German), so I can't finish of its rebuild before
Saturday. This is holding things up because I don't have a 7.1 backend to test
against (& I can't get it to build under NT yet either). So while she's down,
I've been doing other things that either don't need a backend to test, or (in
the case of the XML stuff) test against Oracle.

What may be of use, is for people to email me again with any known bugs, so I
can compile a list of what needs to be done before 7.1, or what has already
been done/obsoleted or re-written from scratch.

This weekend I'm planning on:

Sat am: finish rebuild of linux box
Sat pm: test current cvs against current 7.1beta
Sun am: catch up with bug list
Sun pm: If time, move over more stuff into contrib
