Release plans for 0.14

Release plans for 0.14

[David Bremner]

It has been a few months since we last had a release.

I'd like to to another release within the next few weeks. To this end
I'd like to take a snapshot of master next Sunday (August 12), and
release that plus urgent bugfixes a week later (August 19).

I realize this won't be time to get all of the interesting patches we
are working on reviewed and merged in, but I don't want to fall into the
trap of delaying the release indefinitely.

Discussion?

I'd say no more features. Everybody is to pull latest HEAD: 6b820673fc9c
and start using it as widely they can (with personal patches if they have
-- at least I cannot live without those :)

Only test changes that may help finding bugs in current HEAD and documentation
updates are to be accepted.
(for example my notmuch-test-wait patches can wait...)

All the interesting patches we have in "queue" are to be postponed
until 0.14 is out to lessen the chance of unexpeted problems that may
arise...
