BXE Roadmap and soon to be released 0.9.6

[Christian Stocker]

Hi

I'd like to release BXE 0.9.6 these days (when I find the time for the
announcement). We had a loooot of bug-fixes since 0.9.5 and current HEAD
was intensively tested by the University of Zurich (thanks to them).

There now are only 2 or 3 bugs, I'd like to have fixed until 1.0,
therefore the chances are good, that there won't be any 0.9.7 but a
1.0.0 (hoooray) at the end of september.

As Firefox 1.0 (and maybe mozilla 1.8) should also be released until
then (and therefore a fixed XMLSerializer), this looks like a great
opportunity. Speaking of, I'm currently running the Firefox 1.0
Pre-Preview and it runs very smoothly.

I won't add any new major features into the current branch, but after
1.0, I'll add some little new and useful features, which will lead to
1.1 very soon. I'd like to keep the 1.0 branch stable, meaning only
bugfixes will go into that and these new features go only into HEAD. The
timeframe for the 1.1 release is october/november

I also updated the roadmap at http://wiki.bitfluxeditor.org/RoadMap
As you can see, we have a tight schedule until 1.2 with some big
enhancements (real XSLT implementation on the client side for one)

And last but not least, I'll give a speech at OSCOM.4 about BXE
(http://oscom.org/events/oscom4). Maybe I'll see you there
