We released 0.9.9.9 yesterday and it took us 5 or 6 hours from tagging the branch to releasing builds.  That's pretty cool and makes for a smooth release.  Also, I didn't screw anything up this time.  :)

I'm an employee of PCF so it's my job to work on Miro (and the other things I work on).  However, I'm just one guy and time is a limited resource.  There's no way I can triage, identify and fix all bugs.  I appreciate all the help that I can get.  I had a bunch of help this release.

<p>
I wanted to thank the following people for the time they spent submitting quality bugs, sending in patches, and helping me fix issues:
<ul>
	<li>Simon from dbus-python who walked me through fixing the dbus-python deprecation issue and reviewed the code changes I made.</li>
	<li>Markus who helped me with a variety of Gutsy and Gutsy packaging issues.</li>
	<li>Paul who noticed our README was out of date and suggested changes.</li>
	<li>Matthias who helped with Gutsy and Feisty packaging issues.</li>
	<li>Gotz who helped with packaging issues.</li>
	<li>Stéphane who helped with packaging issues.</li>
	<li>Marco who helped with packaging issues.</li>
</ul>
If there's anyone else that helped out that I've forgotten, I apologize.  Please kick me and/or comment below.

We're well on the path to a solid 1.0.  When 1.0 is finally out, we start working through the architecture changes required for many of the features that have been suggested.
