Okay, so I might have slightly exaggerated there; it does feel like 
forever though ;)

Sounds good to me. The move to VC++ 2010 (and Python 2.7) could 
potentially cause problems for Windows users. I'm pretty confident that 
we've done it correctly, but a dev release would allow more people to 
unearth any problems before a stable release (as Ron mentioned, Windows 
people are less likely to compile/run the latest code). I'm also 
interested to see if your Win7 build environment hits the same Zenmap 
build issue (or any new ones!) that I had compared to David's XP setup 
(as my "dll excludes" patch hasn't been commited to setup.py, and I 
don't want to commit it if it's something peculiar to my machines).

Same goes with the new NSE prerules/postrules, which will affect Nmap 
users on all platforms. I think that's looking really good now, but we 
haven't had a dev release since they were introduced to SVN.
