2.5 preparation status

[Bron Gondwana]

There are still a couple of big things I'm not happy with.  Documentation for one, but we can fix that later.

The exact format of the index file on the other hand I would like to double check, and that goes hand in hand with...

The sync format I am not happy with for 2.5 yet.  I'm still working on it.  I needs to be compatible with 2.4.  It needs a client that can be compiled against 2.3 so people on 2.3 can safely XFER into new 2.5 instances using Ken's new nice stuff, and we need to support that anyway, so XFER is reliable and fast for everyone.

In short, I'd rather wait a bit longer and make sure anyone who upgrades isn't in for more nasty surprises.  Sorry about that, but it's better than the alternative.

Bron.
