I don't like the current release policy at all. 74 bugs targeted for
1.4.1 means that 1.4 is simply not ready fore release.
It seems that the majority of people subscribed to lyx-devel agrees with
you. But it does not seem to make any difference...
I'd rather apply the pending patches for the known issues right now in a
'pre6' (or 7?) and release 1.4.0 only when we are certain we've done as
much as could be expected.
And if that mean 'Christmas' so be it.
I don't think it would be Christmas.
Imagine we applied all available patches. What would be the worst case?
A few new bugs? Well, I wouldn't be afraid of them! Occasional crashes
are more acceptable than a change tracking feature that is unusable for
daily work.
