You've certainly had your share of it.
the next few weeks should have lots of activity. Stephen will be
merging his xft work, Marcus Crestani will be merging his incremental
garbage collector, and with luck i'll be merging my unicode-internal
workspace. luckily, there is hardly any overlap (and none with your
bignum work), except that a bunch of structures (specifically, anything
containing lisp objects) need to be converted into proper lisp objects
in order for Marcus's GC to work. this is something you could help
with; although Marcus has done a good chunk of the work, there is still
much to do.
Unless you need me specifically for some reason, I'll pass for now.
I've got enough left to do catching up from the summer fun that I don't
really need any extra work right now. In any case, though, I will be
responsible for any messes I have created.
Are there any plans to work toward a stable release of the 2.5 tree once
all these changes have settled down?
At the time I left KU, I had a nearly-complete merge of the Emacs
comint.el. Is there anybody out there who would like to finish off the
job? There were only a couple of little things left, followed by
testing, testing, testing.
