ok, just done the 0.6pre3 release, and instantly found a problem :) oh well, the pre-release series is just to get peoples' attention onto the svn anyway...

pyjamas-desktop xulrunner port basically works. there's an outstanding bug being reviewed with SVG 2D Canvas drawImage, in the mozilla bugtracker, but that's it: the rest is perfectly useable. (except on ubuntu, because they screwed up by not including a common version of python between upgrades, and it's caused _massive_ problems, well beyond just making hulahop unusable)

pyjamas-desktop MSHTML port sooort of works, as long as you don't mind not having any debug reporting on event callbacks. this is because the whole thing's interacting with COM apps. i'll need to do a NamedPipe and shove the python exception stack over to the main GDI loop, and print it out there.... *sigh*...

pyjamas-desktop pywebkitgtk port works, but there are two main issues. 1) exec state is not tracked. so, if you get an exception (try to add a style property that doesn't exist) then ... nothing happens! whoops... 2) the webkit developers are being deliberately obstructive. we'll sort that out, one way or the other.

the debian packaging is basically ready, i'll re-submit it when the 0.6 release is done.

various people are sorting out xulrunner and hulahop for different distros like gentoo and arch... mmmm... that's about it.
