As nobody has called `Stop', I've started to build the release packages
for RC5. Some can already be found on the download page currently
still reachable via the RC4 download (scroll down to the end).

There have been 401 single changes since the last RC though :-/
See  
http://hudson.modula3.com:8080/view/makedist/job/cm3-makedist-AMD64_LINUX/changes
for details. I don't know how to summarize that or even to motivate
this amound of changes that late in a release. Perhaps it's best to
just say nothing...

If you find any problem with RC5, please let me know as soon as possible.
