[Qgis-developer] Branch status for merge and release timeline proposal

[Tim Sutton]

Hi all especially Martin and Pirmin and those actively working on new features

I am just wondering how things are looking in terms of merging
branches. Is a merge of threaded rendering + 3d globe on the cards for
1.7 assuming we have a code freeze of around March 15? I'd like to get
1.7 out before the hackfest (oops QGIS Meeting) so was thinking along
the lines of :

- code freeze 15 march
- string freeze 21 march
- release branching 1 April (yes I know its a cool date to release the
code on :-)
- release announcements 7 April (or when packages are available

Are there any other major features people are working on that should
be considered for the release timeline? If the threading + globe
branches arent ready we can hold them over till 1.8, though it would
be nice to get them out there now to keep all the slathering fans
happy!

Regards

Tim
