[Sandro Santilli]Rob, there are 25 bugs on the tracker which are marked with severities from Important up [1]. I think those issues should be addressed prior to make any candidate release.While I agree it would be great to have more bugs fixed and more features implemented, I also believe it is important to get regular releases with high frequency. So given the choice of releasing what is available now and waiting for someone to find time to fix more bugs, I believe it is better to release now and hope to have more bugs fixed in the next release.
That's usually true as long as the code does not have any showstopper bugs. Putting out releases with major showstopper bugs that result in
regressions from previous releases is not cool and makes the release more or less useless. There are at least a few bugs currently in the bug tracker that are showstopper bugs and would make the release useless. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
