[Qgis-developer] QGIS 1.0 Feature Freeze Begins

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi all,

-1

I also like the idea of having a beta or rc that we may recommend to power 
users. For the 'normal' users, it may be better to fix some more bugs and 
therefore I think it will be good to release 1.0 a bit later.

Regards,
Marco
