MS4W 3.0 beta11 is available for testing:
http://www.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/ms4w_3.0_beta11.zip (36MB)  This release
contains several package upgrades and general fixes.

The 3.0 beta process is now almost 1 year old.  As such, if there are no 
major problems with this beta we will release 3.0 final next week 
(*excitement*).  I also wish to thank those who logged tickets in the 
MS4W issue tracker and have provided testing help through there.  Thanks 
everyone.
