Thanks for the great work. No doubt you have a million other things on your plate, but any idea of when RC1a might be available? Are the changes just minor corrections to eliminate Xacto-cuts/jumpers, or something more substantial?
i do have to make a few, but right now getting my taxes done is more important. ill post here and on my blog (which you can RSS) as soon as its done.
