I'm preparing for a 0.1 release, yes. However, I'm trying to keep up 
with the postgres-dtests branch, so that should continue to work with 
the latest dtester code.

I'd recommend merging postgres-dtests into your branch, so you'll get 
all of the adjustments from there, if I change dtester itself.

Once 0.1 is out, I'm *trying* to remain backwards compatible in future 
releases. However, that holds me from releasing 0.1 in the first place :-)


Independent of versions and releases: if you build your tests on top of 
dtester, I'm more than willing to support you with that. If you keep 
your code in a git repository, I could even provide patches, in case I 
need (or want) to change the dtester interface.
