Re: Fop.next release?

[Adrian Cumiskey <ad...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

At the moment I am very busy working on something really important for a
client, but I plan in the next few weeks to try and automate the release
process a bit more.  Thanks for the pointers Vincent.  I can't make any
promises though, it all depends on how much time I find.... :)

All the best,

Adrian.
