I imagine we've seen the last of any new features for Stata 8.2.  Hopefully 
bug fixes will continue for a while, although I suppose we can't count on 
that.  I've reported a couple of bugs recently and was told they were 
fixed, but now I am wondering if they were fixed for version 8 or 9 or both.
