Thanks for your concern. I also act as release manager and am happy to say that we'll make sure that no abi breaking change happens before the final release. There is no beta release yet because there is currently a change being discussed that may cause a shlibs bump. I don't expect this to affect this transition for jessie. In any case, we'll also try to finalize beta1 this weekend. Cheers Reinhard
