There will be no such thing as a release 1.3.5; it will be callsed
2008-10 or so.


And I would like to see a reply to  Heiko's  (IMHO  perfectly  valid)
question:  why  do  we  add  a  memory reservation just so we have to
bother later to remove it again?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
