Some testing:

- built CVS version of DJGPP with gcc-5.1.0 and installed
- built GMP-6.0.0a and reinstalled: no problems, all tests pass OK
- built MPFR-3.1.2 and installed: no problems, all tests pass OK
- build MPC-1.0.3 and installed: no problems, all tests pass OK (rebuilt also with DJGPP v2.03 and 
should upload sometime as it is new version)
- built MPFRCX-0.4.2 (polynomial algenra based on MPC, MPFR, MPC): all tests pass OK

- built cln-1.3.4 and reinstalled. All included tests pass OK
- built GiNaC-1.6.2 and reinstalled. All included tests pass OK.
(see http://www.ginac.de/ for more details about CLN and GiNaC)

I do not currently plan to do more testing now. So I think than new beta v2.05 would be OK unless 
there is objections. After that we could wait for some month before release.
