is development has been changed significantly. It mostly relies on people
willing to help. This 5.0.0pre4 release is a candidate for becoming the
5.0.0 release. It can only be made stable if it enjoys a lot of testing.

bugtracker</a></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica">. Don't hesitate to
report a bug which you find in the new release.</font>
