I also would like to see a release soon.

I think all we need to do is create a label in CVS and merge bug fixes and essential updates back into the labeled code.

I do think we need working installers for Windows, Linux, and OS X.

Regards,
Mike

Subject: Re: [Cs-dev] Multi port midi proposal

I would rather like to have a feature freeze now, that is, assuming
there are other people (not just me) who want an actual release of
Csound 5 to happen in a finite and preferably not very long time,
rather than staying indefinitely in this ever-beta status.
So, would it be possible to temporarily stop adding new opcodes,
frontends and other new features so that we can finally have a
release ?
