This weekend, I will release the final development snapshot of slang
2, and then assuming nothing goes wrong, I will officially release
slang2 on April 24th.

This weekend I intend to release my latest development snapshot of jed
to coincide with the slang release.  It fixes a few small problems in
0.99.17-82.

I will leave the question of stability to others.
