A first public beta, taken from the development branch, has been released.
To celebrate that, the version has been upped to 1.9. For now only full
archives for the Go32V2, win32, FreeBSD and Linux platforms on the intel
(x86) architecture are available We hope the number of platforms and
architectures will steadily expand during the 1.9.x beta series, which will
culminate ultimately in the 2.0 release.
Stability and usability in general is good (1.9.0 has less failures in the
testsuite than 1.0.x), however keep in mind that this is a beta.
