For Catch I have some API changes that are waiting a release, and one
feature that will a small bit of new API.  After that it's good for a
beta.  I had hoped to get that done in December, but holidays and
other family related things stopped that from happening.  I could
easily do an Alpha 4 with what I have and push the new feature off to
the beta.  Dan also did another release (or will be soon) of Solder
which will have some things that I'll need (currently it's in Catch,
but will be pulled up into Solder).
