Hi everyone, just a few seconds ago, we released Xfce 4.8pre2. Today starts what we call "string freeze". It means that from now on until the final 4.8 release, strings in the master branches of Xfce core components may no longer be changed. There may be a few exceptions, you never know. But in general this means that translators can now rely on the strings to be stable until the final release.
On January 2nd, 2011, we will most likely release Xfce 4.8pre3 and from that date on, not even bug fixes are allowed anymore - just translations. Bug fixes will, for a short time of two weeks (until the final release), be pushed to special branches that will be merged shortly after the final release. The final Xfce 4.8 release is scheduled for January 16th, 2011. There are quite a few known bugs at this point, but I still think this release date is realistic. And after all, we can still push out stable bugfix releases for the individual components after 4.8. Just as a reminder: the entire schedule is available on http://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.8/schedule and the formalities can be read again on http://wiki.xfce.org/releng/release-model Happy using/testing/translating 4.8pre2! - Jannis
