Pluto 1.0.1-RC2 is now available. This was my first experience as a release manager, and it went fairly well. There are a few minor problems we found after creating the release package, but nothing that can't be worked around. The biggest problem was working out exactly what needed to be done and how to do it.
Thankfully Carsten Ziegeler had done one release previouly so everything was basically in place for me.
We'll probably do one more release candidate and then do a 1.0.1 FINAL
