Code freeze for NAC v1.1 ("FASware") is tomorrow, so I anticipate some gear changing in the next day or two. Thanks for reminding me; I haven't forgotten, I just need to schedule some time where I can fault all of rc back into my head and work on fixing all the nitty gritty problems. Part of my reluctance to work on rc-1.5 stems from precisely what Tom mentions: the fact that 1.4 is working so well. The old "if it ain't broke" principle. To this end I have also felt compelled to release something completely polished, and this has acted as an inhibitor on my actions. However, I do realize that there some valuable fixes which need to get out there, and I will do my best at getting them out soon. If that doesn't happen then I will try to be more realistic about what I can actually accomplish with my time --- i.e., maybe I will try to solicit someone's help as Tom suggested. I thought I'd raise this since I would like to have a reasonable beta period for any changes, given that there is no way that I as an individual can test rc in the way that it will surely be stressed when released to hundreds of users on n different OSes.
