Quite a long time.

The "implement views as adapters" change should be transparent
to you.  If you are basing development on X3.0, you need to just
the view apis, which will work in X3.1 too.

You may not be aware that X3.0 supports the concept of multi-views.

When you define a view, you can define it for multiple interfaces.

The "implement views as adapters" change is mostly an internal cleanup.

What presentation package?

These particular changes are no cause for a new release.

Sure, but:

- I don't think there's enough new to justify a new release

- It's a lot of work making a release

Sounds like a good idea.
