[mb-users] Picard 0.9.0 BETA released!

[Mika Heiska]

Nicely done.

Looks like the folder recursion behaviour (or whatever one might call 
it) has changed for the better. I suppose this is the new threading 
code. It appears to be extremely fast. :) Anyway, now that it is in 
beta, are you opening it up for translations sometime soon?

I also ran a few stability tests, couldn't get it to crash under normal 
usage. :P
