Yes, as far as Windows build is concerned the schedule is OK.
I addition I'd like to see other thing incorporated in this
release.

1. Fist and foremost - Andreas is doing code cleaning.
It would be great if it can be finished or at least brought
to some logical state before release.  Surely we should
ask Andreas about his plans.

2. Decide something about describe.
I feel that current default inexact search ? often returns
too many lines and this already becomes a bit annoying.
Surely this is result of documentation growth - many
new sections were incorporated into reference manual.
Following recent discussion suggest the following scheme
     ? foo - exact search
     ?? foo - inexact search as substring
more elaborate search schemes with rgexps seems to be
an overkill.

3. Implement recursive share search for load command.

With best regards,

Vadim
