Since we are talking future plans in other threads, I'd like to shift focus back to the near future for a while: a new major gnucash release.

I have updated the release schedule on the wiki (http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Release_Schedule#Goal) with the information I have. A number of features are complete, some still need to be started (guile 2.0 is on my list).

I'd like to ask the other developers if they can share what they are working on that is still meant for 2.6 so I can complete the expected feature list and establish an estimated release schedule for the 2.5 series eventually leading to the release of 2.6.

John's work on fixing the 2038 date issue should probably be included still.

I also know that Robert Fewell is still working on a register rewrite. I'm not sure if he thinks this can be ready for 2.6 or not. It would be great, but might be too much work still.

On my TODO list, I have support for guile 2.0, completing the git migration, writing some unit tests for the new features I have added and some small cleanups in those new features.

From what I have now, I would propose to do a first 2.5 testing release December 9, calling it a feature freeze. Features that are mostly done or have a good chance of being finished in time for 2.6, will be included. From there we can work towards a release of 2.6 somewhere in March 2013.

What do you think ?

Geert
