I'll check shortly the state of translation, and send a message to the
list when things are OK.

Probably not. I still need to update the docs, and worse, I need a new
libgsf release. At the moment, we need the svn trunk version which is
not acceptable for a stable release, and I'd like a new goffice release
too, because there are some annoying bugs in the current version (which
have been fixed in svn). I'll ask Jody Goldberg about these two
releases, then it will be easier to make plans.
Also some bugs might be found if more people test the pre-releases
(0.9.90 and later), especially with the new cdx(ml) importers.

Yesterday, I uploaded 0.9.5, but I introduced a couple of bugs in the
build system just before releasing, so it is unusable. If libgsf and
goffice will be released soon, I'll publish 0.9.90, otherwise, I'll make
a 0.9.6. Note that translations are now mostly independant of the
stability issue.

Last thing, 0.10 needs goffice-0.6 or later. Hopefully,we'll also have
an abiword release using 0.6+, so goffice-0.4 will disappear (it is
already largely unmaintained).

Best regards,
