Bird 3 Status

[Douglas Fischer]

Dear Santa Claus

May you bring health and peace to everyone this Christmas. Chocolates and
lollipops to the children who behaved well.

I also ask that you bring lots of inspiration to our friends at the NIC in
the Czech Republic so that version 3 of BIRD can continue to be a stable
version with lots of progress.

Thank you very much!

P.S.: Just a little joke...
A big thank you to the developers involved, especially Maria and Ondrej.
