Oh? 1.4 is out? That's surprising, since I don't recall a release  
announcement going to this or the -dev list, and there's no mention  
of it at www.macports.org.

I do see 1.4 available in the downloads directory so I don't dispute  
that it's out. I'm just surprised that the release was so silent.

That is, I did see the "MacPorts 1.4, final call for feedback"  
message stating that a final release would be made soon. I just would  
have thought that such a final release would have been accompanied by  
an announcement and a prominent feature on the project web page.
