[Qgis-developer] Please vote: Proposed extension to 1.7 release schedule

[Tim Sutton]

Hi All

It seems those who care have had their say, and those that don't
haven't :-) So it looks like a majority of people opt for 3 - dedicate
the hackfest to bug fixing and release after. As such I will suggest
we lift the string freeze again but maintain the feature freeze in
place. I will update the release checklist with new timings over teh
weekend.

Best regards

Tim
