Thank you, it's a good feeling :)

I think it is a good idea to get out a new release soon. We have indeed 
a couple of new features, which would justify a 1.1 release. I had a 
look at the bug list, most of the entries are enhancement requests.

I would like to add a save() method to HierarchicalXMLConfiguration (Bug 
31130), and I have a solution for 31797 (optional configurations). For 
the latter documentation could be updated, too. Which other issues 
should be addresed? Maybe 30858, this could confuse users.

There was recently a posting on the user list of somebody who got a NPE 
when loading a file based configuration and the specified file does not 
exist. I would like to check this; in this case a ConfigurationException 
should be thrown.

Something else?

Oliver
