You're right, we need another release candidate because of those changes as well as fixes to the verify errors.  That candidate should also fix any bugs that we plan to fix for final.  I should have incremental compilation restored and my bugs fixed by early next week and would be happy to see an rc2 release any time after that.  Can we get Adrian to sign up for final build and test of rc2 and 1.1final?

Right now I think that there are only a small number of bug fixes needed for final, but I haven't made a careful check.

I'm not signing up for any of these before final, but think they would all be good things.
