Since revision #17_ you can display Page numbers in headers and footers (only!) by using this syntax:

.. code-block:: rst

   .. header::

      This is the header. Page ###Page###

   This is the content

   .. footer::

      This is the footer. Page ###Page###

It has some issues if your page number is bigger than 99999999999 or your header/footer is a little longer than one line when using the placeholder, because the space required is calculated **with the placeholder** instead of with the number, but those are really marginal cases.

Next in line, a decent way to define custom stylesheets.

------

As for "time-based releases", I intend to release a new version of **something** every friday.

Since I have about a dozen projects in different stages of usability, I expect this will push me a bit more towards showing this stuff instead of it rotting in my hard drive and unknown svn repos.
