*Snipped*

Well, Free Pascal has been slashdotted. Check out:

I guess the only thing remaining to do is to make sure that Fresh Meat has the information for the 1.0 release properly updated. The last update was in January.

I guess this also explains why the CVS server is having problems as well :)
