From the list above, I think we can still easily a= nd quickly fix a few simple issues (thinking about=A0DIRSTUDIO-412 ,=A0DIRS= TUDIO-411,=A0DIRSTUDIO-466,=A0DIRSTUDIO-442, etc.).
But, there are also issues requiring more refactoring and time.
<= div>
The latest version of Apache Directory Studio (1.3.0) ha= s been released on November 24th 2008, 4 months ago.
We've ha= d some discussion, here at ApacheCon, and we think it's time to think a= t releasing the version 1.4.0 version very soon.
It could be ready next week.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Pierre-Arnaud
