There was already a feature freeze for 4.1.x, but on Internal Developer 
Meeting this week in Bordeaux we decided to add 2 more functions for multi 
query support and profiling. When this is done (Monty told me to add it this 
week) packaging for the new binary will start, so you can use the offical 
binary wih ext/mysqli without any (bc) problems.

I don't know when the license will be fixed finally, maybe Zak can give us  
little bit more details ?!

Regards
