Thanks Toma. I like the changes you've made to the different freezes. The later phases leading up to 4.4 didn't go very smoothly, and I think we can do a lot better this time. There is a lot of frustration to be saved. > This cycle we saw that a beta1 and hard feature freeze at the same date was > not optimal.

No more changes to APIs or header files (except docs) after this date, including older APIs and newly introduced libraries/APIs. I, and I think the other bindings people really need to have solid (not shifting!) ground to work on at this time in the schedule. Even minor changes which are often easy enough to fix, cause problems by breaking builds requiring new tarballs or packages to be made etc etc. cheers, -- Simon Edwards | KDE-NL, Guidance tools, Guarddog Firewall si...@simonzone.com | http://www.simonzone.com/software/ Nijmegen, The Netherlands | "ZooTV?
