bencode is merged to bzr.dev.  It still needs to get a stable format
name <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/385103> (assigned to

jml will be the release manager (see other thread) and will release
this on Thursday, which is pretty much the regular 4-week cycle.

OK, so we don't yet have a 1.15.1, but we do have the right code in
the 1.15 branch and I expect Bob will release it pretty soon.
