I presume the minimum sign off is a full successful run through both(?)
the debug and release tests. Certainly that's all I can do on Solaris.

Actually running it on a good chunk of filesystem is obviously desirable
too, and I'm already running trunk on my machines for all my backups.

As to feature list in the coming version, I guess Ben was listing the
features he thought would have a good chance of going in. Stuff like
logging is a good longer term aim, but I don't think is needed for 0.10.
Hopefully 0.10 won't be the last release! Releases every 3-6 months
would be good, so there's always the next one.

There's enough stuff in 0.10 already to make it well worth getting out
asap, and it certainly doesn't need to be perfect (feature wise).

Cheers,

Martin.
