Thanks Massimo! Yes I do expect that the next releases should not take anywhere near so long. I should be able to focus more on feature work for a while instead of platform work.

However, just in general speed of development is not a high priority for me. I prefer to go slowly and focus on quality and on avoiding bloat.

This particular release has been quite spectacularly slow though indeed. Maybe I should write a "slow software" manifesto like "slow food". ;)
