One year for the 1.5 cycle would not be a scandal, and that puts us in march 2007. I am not saying that we shall do that, but there is no need to try to get a xmas date (as was proposed elsewhere) if we feel we cannot do it. In particular if people are willing to do polishing (like fix new bugs and look at bugs that are targeted to 1.5.0 or 1.4.x). There is also the problem of the next 1.4 release. Some stuff needs to be fixed before 1.4.4, but depending on 1.5 timing, it is not clear yet whether it should be the last one. I think there will be time for a 1.4.5 that implements necessary lyx2lyx support. While I talk about lyx2lyx, I saw recently that there is no code to revert the Box support of 1.4 in 1.3 format. Is that intentional? JMarc
