Grouper Developers Forum

[blair christensen <>]

i've just tagged cvs and there will be no additional features added to
grouper before 0.6 is released.  the only changes that will be made
will be:

* documentation 

there is a *lot* of this to write or update

* tests 

there are at least a few edge cases that i know of that are in need of
(additional) testing.

* bug fixes 

there are at least a couple of (small) bugs or expected bugs that i
will need to fix.  

...

we've added and updated more than i anticipated in this release:
