Thoughts please: 4.54.4 as a stable?

[sandrews at andrewscompanies.com]

Aw crap. I just got done upgrading everything to 4.54.4. ;)

I'd say release.  It'll save me the time of doing NetIP and NetDNS
manually.

Everything else looks stable as a rock to me.

efficiency purposes (the newer versions of both are purported to be
faster), but I am wary about fixing something that isn't broken (so to
speak).

The current differences between 4.54.4 and the proposed 4.54.5 are
(These give you a good idea of the stability as I have addressed every
known problem with 4.54.4 in 4.54.5)

5 Added Net::IP Perl module as it is needed for SpamAssassin and
Net::DNS.
5 Improved handling of Unicode encoded subject lines with a few trailing
spaces.
5 Fresh translation of German languges.conf file.
5 Fixed bug in sophos-wrapper caused by confusion between Sophos V4 and
V5.
5 Fixed bug stopping regexp rule /^$/ from working properly in rulesets.

That is the total list of all known problems in 4.54 and improvements
made to 4.54.5. I will release 4.54.5 as another beta (with no known
problems at all) if you want me to.

I suspect the only thing you actually might want is the new
sophos-wrapper which I have posted to the list already, a couple of days
ago.
