Well, there was already a .1 release after only a few days, thanks to the
face that I also forgot to add the help documentatin for dependency linking
:). So are you suggesting that we just make a new release with the
additional suggested changes and go on from there? I don't mid too much. I
have already made releases of the projects in the Cbc stack, but I can go
back and make another round of releases there without too much problem.

That sounds promising. I will try when I get back to it.
