I have chosen September 6, 2008 as the current tentative date to release PainlessSVN 1.0. The actual hands-on work is less than a month to complete, but life has a way to interfere with my plans.

I had to take into consideration my slow recovery from cataract (eye) surgery. I still get pretty tired by the time I get to work though. My eye doctor doesn't want to get me a new prescription until at least 3 weeks after the surgery. I'm on my second post-surgery week. I'm finally down to only one medication (from 5). I'm still getting some really fierce headaches every day. That's the number 1 reason why, I'm not coding more at home, after work.

I've also taken into account family obligations. Thankfully, I'm not doing any moonlighting, so I have more free time. My wife got a job closer to home, so I'm carpooling with her. My parents will be visiting us this week. They haven't seen my family since I got married almost 8 years ago.

I've been getting myself ready to code at home, by working to fix small bugs and usability in the free utilities. I've only been able to concentrate for about 25 to 30 minutes at a time, in between headaches.

I wanted to put out a public date, so that I will push myself to get this thing out the door.
