2.9.0 release / win64 stability?

[Ross Johnson]

Hi,

There's no experimental code in the current CVS head, just some bug 
fixes. Apart from a moment of weakness where I committed a patch without 
testing (recently fixed), I generally don't  commit untested changes. 
So, if it builds for you and passes all the tests, what comes out of CVS 
head at the moment should be stable.

Of course, these could be "famous last words".

And yes, in relation to 2.9.0, I should just do it. I'm still looking at 
the recent join issue but spare time is in short supply just now.
