Hear, hear! And regular releases after that? With Lars out of touch/country/planet and the snapshots out of commission, it'd be nice to have something easily available. I haven't seen a changelog in ages, but it seems from here that ShengHuo ZHU, Simon Josefsson, Per Abrahamsen et. al. have sorta replaced Lars in the daily gnus info loop; perhaps one of them could make regular (weekly or so?) releases.
