I would simply change the release version to 0.6.91. I would remove all 
items which are now fixed.

This should remain. We will be fixing this when we move the crawler to 
the indexer. This is a long term goal.

This should remain. This needs fixing.

This shouldn't be an issue any more. I suspect this was an issue with 
deleting taking so long in the database. Now that Carlos has improved 
that, I suspect this is no longer an issue.

Yes, this isn't really a bug, but more a feature request. It was just as 
bad before. We have a few states before we get to INDEXING. For example, 
the "crawling" state. This is not reflected in the applet. We could 
improve things here. I would keep this on the page.
