<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>I would prefer 1.0RC1.
1.0alpha sounds that QGIS is in a very early stage of developement. But this is
not the reality. Wide parts of QGIS are matured and there are a lots of bugs
which are identified and will be fixed in the next weeks.</span></div>

QGIS 1.0 Feature Freeze Begins</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>Hi All</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>It looks like waiting is the
general preference. Personally I think
if</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>we are going to wait for 1.0 final
and do an interim release, that
we</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>should release it as 1.0alpha so
that we dont imply the API is
final.</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>There may still be parts of the
API that can be cleaned up and I
would</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>also appreciate the chance to
give it another revision before we
hold</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>ourselves to it for a long time
into the future.</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>If folks are happy to have
the release as alpha rather than beta,
I</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>would propose that the gui freeze
remain in effect to give the doc</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>folks
a chance to get the manual updated.</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>In order to have an alpha or
beta ready for end of this month, I
may</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>skip some steps in the release
checklist - in particular I propose
we</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>dont advertise the alpha / beta
release widely.</span></div>
<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>We could set a new proposed
release date for QGIS 1.0 for end Oct?</span></div>
