It takes me a minumum of 2 weeks (preferably 3) to deal with the 
translations.   If we stay on schedule, I'll be *just* ready for a 1-month 
beta.

Additional Features in this Release

PL/Python has been enchanced so that now functions can return records
and sets of records. Any iterables (lists of list, lists of dictionaries
and python generators and iterators) can be used to return recordsets.
Also, named function arguments are now available in pl/python

I still see "Theo Scholossenagle" there. I realize the quote is not

"Theo Schlossnagle".
