As I've said before, not too much should be read into the bug count values - not all development or bug fixes are logged on the bugtrack. Besides, it's more important that the closed bugs number goes up than the open issue count goes down (remember that the open issue count is around about the same as when IB2.4 was released - it just wasn't made public). Probably we need to create a vault to move all the issues that are not worth fixing for 3.0
. However, to answer your other question... No, there hasn't been a lot of progress lately, but that's mainly due to cvs downtime and me being busy with other stuff instead.
