Correct. Eric Edgar (rocket) and myself have been working closely with |
| 13 |
Tim Yamin (plasmaroo) and we're going to be producing a catalyst 2.0 and |
| 14 |
genkernel 3.2, both which will require each other. The features of both |
| 15 |
are not finalized, so don't expect to see either of them released in the |
| 16 |
near term. Catalyst 2.0 is almost a complete re-write by Eric Edgar. |
| 17 |
Expect to see a package.mask'd version of both before the final release, |
| 18 |
to allow us to iron out the final bugs and get user feedback. |

The easiest way to follow what is going on is probably by checking out |
| 21 |
the ChangeLog[1] via viewcvs. |
