Hi,
I'd like to remind everyone that the 2.3 development cycle ended at
12:00 UTC. We are now in feature freeze on the road to the 2.4 release
on 2014-06-20
<http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?p0=1440&iso=20140620T12&year=2014&month=6&day=20&hour=12&min=0&sec=0&msg=2.4%20Release>
(almost 28 days away; see also roadmap
<http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/index#road-map.html>).
Now *we*, *the community*, need to prepare QGIS for release. No new
features will be added anymore. *Users*, if not already begun, should
now start extensive testing of master and report bugs on the hub
<http://hub.qgis.org>. *Developers* should move their focus from
creating new features to fixing bugs. *Translators* can can continue
their work (Werner updated the translations in master. Thanks! Note that
this might be an incremental process as - although there is feature
freeze - bug fixes could still change or add translation strings).
The nightly builds of QGIS testing available for Windows
<http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#windows>, Linux
(Debian <http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#id3> and
Ubuntu
<http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#qgis-testing>)
and Mac OS <http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#id13>
are now effectively snapshots of what's going to be released. Except of
course for the bugs that are going to be fixed until release day. For
Windows there will also continue to be weekly snapshots of the
standalone installer that can serve as Release Candidate
<http://www.qgis.org/downloads/weekly/>.
Lets keep up working together to make 2.4 another great release.
Jürgen
