Is there going to be a release soon?

I am getting people trying to build the latest Étoilé release and complaining about bugs in GNUstep that I know were fixed ages ago. Is there going to be a new stable release soon containing these fixes?

P.S. The stable/unstable version numbering system really confuses a lot of people. Everyone expects 0.14 to come after 0.13, not before. The odd-unstable/even-unstable system is used by a load of projects (including the Linux kernel) but no one I've come across else has them the same way around as GNUstep. I realise the rationale for this was to encourage people to use the latest stable, but this is usually a decision made by packagers (who go with stable or unstable, depending on their target audience, and know which order they come in) while people compiling from source usually just use svn and don't care about versions.
