When should we aim to release 5.10?  And what should be in it?
For example should we move to the sample-counting time that fixes
Russell Pinkston's bug?  I have it running on two machines, but I have
not hammered very hard as I have had little time of late.

I think I would like a release before Christmas break, so I can work on
"what next" in the short gap without students.

I believe that the long->int32 change is necessary.  There are a
number of places where the code assumes int is 16 bits and long is 32,
while on this machine a long is 64bits.  It is better to say what we
mean.

As far as i can tell the changes are entirely in the 64bit machines,
and the sooner we change the better as these machine become
increasingly popular.

I meant what I said.  There were parts of the code where it is assumed
that an int is 16 bits.  Remember Csound used to run on DOS.
There were also places where it was assumed long was 32bits, and this
is a long-term trap.

I have no objection to changing API version number, but I do not use
the API
