It looks like the estimate on #2 is... now. ;)

Christoph has been working on the plugins, and I just imported all the

Can you try them out and let me know if you run into problems...

In particular I would be very interested in any problems upgrading
from the 4.3.2 packages to the 4.4rc1 ones.

I was just using no plugins at all for a while there.
Then I was testing plugins as christoph got them built.
