A 1.10 release would be nice. Unstable 1.9 is, in my book, an =
improvement over stable 1.8:

The new =93gaf=94 utility is handy.

The new geda-gaf configuration system is friendly to languages other =
than Scheme.

The improvements to the gschem Scheme API look interesting, although I =
haven=92t had a chance to try them out yet.

Three cheers for the maligned Peter Brett for all his work on solid =
software engineering, while avoiding shiny misfeatures.
