Well, I still have a fair bit of work to do on the transaction matcher.  And 
some of the changes might affect your matcher as well.   I don't know how 
much code will have to be moved around.  But my immediate problem has more to 
do with 1.7.4 than the relaxed or short schedule for 1.8.  I will try to get 
it done this weekend, but I can't promise anything.

The rest should be able to be stabilized for release candidate.  I personally 
prefer the short schedule, so we all have some real vacation during 
christmas.
