Status update (30 September)

Hey folks,
I’m very sorry for not updating this blog earlier, but we were so busy in getting the 0.3 release in a decent shape, that I simply forgot to do it. As you can see from the list of fixed bugs that follows, the developers have been working very hard on getting the builds ready for release and we’re very near (probably within the next 2-3 days) to a first release candidate, which can then be tested on our Calendar test day (see the previous post).
