charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next' (being in 'next' is a sign that a topic is stable enough to be used and is a candidate to be in a future release). Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen', and aren't considered "accepted" at all and may be annotated with a URL to a message that raises issues but they are by no means exhaustive. A topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of no activity (of course they can be resubmitted when new interests arise). Copies of the source code to Git live in many repositories, and the following is a list of the ones I push into or their mirrors. Some repositories have only a subset of branches.
