Re: [swtbot-dev] What about a release soon?

IMHO it would be really great to have a release soon, even if not perfect :)

if the remaining bugs are fixed (hopefully soon) you can still do a new
release then, but in the meantime one can benefit the bugs which were
fixed (not to mention the cool test recorder!).

+1
