No, I don't think so. We have still 19 tickets opened. FOSS4G
should not force us to release a buggy version. We can release
preview 2. It is much better to here on the conference that
QGIS 0.8 stable was not yet released but 0.8 preview 2
works very well then that QGIS 0.8 is again buggy like 0.7 was
and it is better to wait at least for 0.8.5.
RC1 is probably better name then preview. Preview is something very
preliminary. I am sure many people will try the new version
of QGIS on the conference and would be bad advertisement
to see there crashing stable version.
