R14B will be released September 15.
We might include more topics that already are in 'pu'
into the release. New topics received from now on
are unlikely to be included in the release, unless
they fix fairly serious bugs.

[New topics]
* km/pool_connect-to-running-nodes (stdlib) (2010-09-02) 1 commit
- Change pool module to attempt to attach to nodes that are already
running (0c89959)

imply 'inet6' (a0f020b)

* ta/ensure-dot-ssh-exists (ssh) (2010-09-03) 1 commit

------------------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]
* er/ei-decode_msg (erl_interface) (2010-03-11) 1 commit
- Add function to decode distribution header (864091a)
Needs documentation and test cases.
Action expected from: Topic author
* jn/gen_stream (stdlib) (2010-07-15) 2 commits
- Track gen_stream processes directly for accurate test results (38a4083)
- Patch dev to reproduce jn/gen_stream (7694a74)
. Add new gen_stream behaviour for efficiently consuming serial
streams (65f3db8)
This topic branch has a failing test case:
shell_SUITE:start_restricted_from_shell;
We have now tested with and without this topic branch and when
it is present that test case fails. We consider it proved
to be guilty. The test case does not fail when run standalone
so it seems to be tricky... Also, some of its own test cases
fail sporadicly.
Action expected from: Topic author.
* jp/dependencies_makefile (compiler, erts) (2010-02-14) 3 commits
- squash! eliminate dialyzer warning (434e2ca)
- squash! fix snprintf for Windows (bf2708d)
- Add dependencies Makefile generation to erlc(1) and compile(3) (7cbc437)
Approved in principle by the OTP Technical Board; now awaits a closer
review of the implementation.
Action expected from: Björn Gustavsson (the reviewer)
* kr/gs-browser (gs) (2010-02-10) 1 commit
- Change lib/gs/src/tool_utils.erl to select multiple browsers other
than Netscape (802d159)
This topic branch introduces a new call to the deprecated regexp module.
Action expected from: Topic author or anyone else with an interest to
advance the topic
* sf/erts_de_busy_limit (erts) (2010-06-08) 1 commit
- Add flag-based setting for 'erts_de_busy_limit' constant (67ed9ab)
This topic branch has multiple issues described in this email:
http://www.erlang.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3:mss:1303:201008:ldciadjdmjednikemjch
Action expected from: Topic author.
