Correct. > In other words.

Okay, then we are agreed on what code-freeze means. As you can see, there will probably be docs corrections, so we will need to do a second release candidate. That is why i planned for it. If there were no bugfixes, then re-testing is easy - just need someone to verify the md5 and PGP. But remember that the vote must be against the final release candidate. > We can do a 0.7.1 which includes the sitemap refactoring and the cocoon > related issues once Cocoon head reaches a stable state again. Only if we really must. We can still add to the release branch if people think it necessary. We don't actually need to release it, unless there is a major problem like there was with 0.5 However i would prefer that we just keep moving along the trunk and do a 0.8 as soon as possible. --David
