Rob,

I'm working on it right now. Release notes are done already and I am again
working on getting the installer working for the C++ Builder side of BDS
2006. I've got it now where the installer will make it such that the
components are on both Win32 palette and the CPPB palette but I'm dealing
with a problem to do with the generation of the HPP file when compiling an
application there is an error for some reason. Apparently when compiling
the packages for inclusion in the IDE at design-time the HPP's are merely
generated but aren't necessarily compiled. The problem doesn't come about
until the actual HPP file is compiled when compiling an application that
makes use of it.

So, once i get this problem worked out the release should be out in a day or
two from that.
