Sorry, but this seems too long right. Unless there is a major bug
in the current code, I think we should ship with it. We can still
release a new package in a few weeks once you get your improvements
in the CVS; besides, this will put less pressure on you.

And just let me thank you for your work, by the way

If you look at the ChangeLog, you'll see we've been doing a lot these
last couple days to prepare the release. I just updated docs/CHANGES
by the way :-)

Now, we need to check that compilation works well on a broad range
of platforms, that installation doesn't break a significant number of
Linux distributions, as well as decide wether to call the next release
2.2.2 or 2.3

Very frankly, I'd favor 2.3, given the vast improvements in auto-hinting,
the new LCD filtering features and the automatic unpatented hinter. What
do people on this list think about it.

Apart from that, I welcome the Bedhad's proposal to maintain the stable
branch, it's really that we don't have much time, and CVS is really,
really bad at decent branch management[1]. 

I really look forward doing more frequent releases. It seems the last one
was about 7 months ago, and some distributions didn't catch up yet.

Expect a releast tag in the CVS tonight or tomorrow. There, I said it !!


Best Regards,

[1] And yes, I tried git when working on Cairo, lost my work three times in a
row; I'm a bit disgusted and won't try it again with FreeType until the
developers fix the stupid interface, which apparently is very unlikely...

PS: And just to correct something that was written previously, I'm not planning
relocating to a different country just yet, at least not until a relatively
distant future.

On the other hand, I do work for a new employer: a company that recently
held its official pajama day right in the middle of winter, how smart !! ;-)

There's one regression w.r.t. Multiple Master fonts (I've sent mail
twice to Jens without a reply, unfortunately) I'm aware of.  In case
he doesn't answer I'll look at it by myself.

I like git very much: Using the git on Savannah, the work with
lilypond is really fun.  And `gitk' (a git repository viewer) just
rocks.
