End of year was a bit ambitious but development is really speeding up.

Huh?
I'm guessing your talking about a port to L4. This is not in the
pre-release plan, in fact it's only in the suggestion/discussion phase.

The move from gnumach-1.3 to gnumach-2.0 occured in november, it went
very well after Marcus Brinkmann wrote the new console server.

Happy GNU year.
