Next release?

[Fred Kiefer]

I would like to suggest to have a shared release of the GNUstep core
components before the end of this year.
There was a base release a few months ago, but the last gui/back release
was more than six months ago. And right after that release I fixed a bug
in gui that will show up with all newer Linux systems.

It would be great, if many different people could test the SVN code on a
lot of different systems. At the moment I am myself testing the current
GNUstep code on OpenSuse 13.1. There the copy/paste mechanism seems to
be broken. When calling copy from the menu I get the following stack dump:

Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.

Of course we need to fix this and maybe other issues on these systems
before the release. But first we need to know about them.
