I have about 10... ;-)
Lemme answer some of these...
1) Yeah, that makes me work a little harder to get the release out... I guess that's a good thing...
2) A lot of those were very minor of course, but I've been fixing a ton of bugs in prep for the release, and I'm going home on Sunday! Also, a lot of them were patches submitted on JIRA by someone named Niels Leenheer, mostly in the last 2 days. So thanks to him too!
3) No, the performance improvements are not included. But man, if it's flying now, just wait til they're implemented. In general though, 1.0.2/1.0.3 are very clean, stable releases that should work pretty smoothly.
4) Yeah, I'd say about 10 or 15, two or three of which are my test galleries on the home server (subalbums and trunk, and recently the performance branch). Fun stuff.
Okay, back to work I go. Hope you don't mind staying up a little late...
