The release schedule has now been set with a release date on April 18.

The detailed procedure can be found at http://developer.r-project.org/
(it is not quite there yet, but will appear after a short propagation
delay.) 

The main point for non-developers is that we start making alpha
tarballs on March 21 and beta tarballs on April 4. Only very simple
and/or critical bugs are fixed in the last week before release.

As usual, we encourage users to build and test the pre-release, and
help us find and fix bugs before rather than immediately after the
release.

Are there any plans on providing an API that would allow packages to
create and handle connections, before the "grand feature freeze"?

The reason I ask is that I recently submitted a patch that adds
filtering data through pipes to the core code. I had to write this
as a patch because connection handling is done in a static array
in src/main/connections.c and there is no API allowing packages to
operate on that array.

Will R 2.1.0 include filtering? And perhaps also forking, while we're
at this?
