Basically, everything is ready (the recent performance fixes have been a very valuable last-minute contribution, IMHO). So branch is frozen, except for urgent fixes (crashes, building, etc.), documentation and l10n.
However, I have to modify the original plan, which was to prepare the release today, since some translators are obviously still busy and need time until the end of the week. So my new plan is as follows: - prepare the release on Friday - beg you to check it over the weekend - release on Monday Jürgen
