As originally proposed by Melvin Smith, we gonna have a "Halloween release". Its not so much "Nothing fancy, just something fun. :)" - A lot of things did happen since the last release. Not really milestones, though - nevertheless the rather big list of improvements[1] justifies a release.
* Feature freeze is from now Oct, 29th 8.00 GMT until
* Code freeze starts at Oct, 31th 8.00 GMT


During feature freeze, only core patches WRT building, testing, warnings, bug fixes and the like should go in (languages/* aren't affected).
