Hi, as the results of the trunk testing depict, there are no major problems/regressions (compared to the previous release). Thus I propose to branch the 0.3.14 release. Any comments, motivated objections? If not, then branching will be done on Monday, 18th of December 2011. WBR, Aleksey Bra

Thing is that this is a pre-alpha operating system. The "0.x" basically indicates it is not finished. Sure the release should be special but strictly speaking it should be done. The new MM can wait (IMO) up until 0.3.15 - there's little point worrying about it in the next release. So long as this
