 STATUS
 ------
 
-The branch is now very stable and almost full-featured. I hope the
-major problems were fixed.  (It still needs testing on other
-architectures, though.)  Both multiple tty device support and
-simultaneous X and tty frame support works fine.  Emacsclient has been
-extended to support opening new tty and X frames.  It has been changed
-open new Emacs frames by default.
+The branch is now very stable and almost full-featured.  All of the

+frames.  It has been changed open new Emacs frames by default.
+
+The multi-tty branch has been scheduled for inclusion in the next
+major release of Emacs (version 22).  I expect the merge into the
+development trunk to occur sometime during next year (2005), after the
+merge of the Unicode branch.
 
 Please let me know if you find any bugs in this branch.
