I'm not using ODBC and so I could live with new bugs in that area, but
to me this sounds like it should be done without haste after the
release. You guys are running git versions all the time anyway, so what
does a release mean to you?
Nothing to me personally, but the work I'm doing with the ODBC dataset is
with a colleague whom I'm trying to convince to use gretl for the job
instead of stata. I guess my chances would marginally improve if I didn't
have to ask him to use a snapshot instead of an official release.
