The number of outstanding bugs is not that large. I used it in both of
my deployments with no problems, but now I'm running CVS head because
that's what I need to do to be sure testing happens. But I've had no
problems, and the number of reported problems is not that large. I'd
take a nightly snapshot over the alpha release.

The interface from performance data is what is changing - we coded a
bunch in microseconds, but popular opinion seemed to be that they should
be in decimal seocnds. So I'm reworking that.

That's the reason we haven't moved out of alpha - there will be a change
in the output interface if you use perfdata. I hope to get to working on
that again this week, so we might be lloking at a bate release around
late march or early april.

(I'm just constructing this timeline on my own here - any devlopers
should feel free to comment. Note especially that I'm not planning
another alpha release at present - though I could be swayed on that,
especially if those working on check_dns feel it's warranted)
