Oh!  Angry users! Sounds bad :-) At least they are angry for the right
reasons (an insatiable appetite for new QGIS releases) :-). Borys
there is nothing really stopping us releasing now in my book, except
that we wanted to try to have trac migrated to redmine as Juergen
mentioned. I spent some time on it but havent had the time needed to
sit and really get it working. While work has been continuing on
master branch we have been applying fixes from trunk also to the
release branch so in effect its just getting better and better while
it waits. If others agree we can postpone the redmine shift for after
the release and I will go ahead and put out the call for packaging.

Please cast your vote:

- release now
- wait for the redmine migration

If you are really desperate to get 1.7 to specific users, I made an
unofficial 'all in one' build a week or so back which I can let you
have - put I wont' put it online publically until we make the official
announcement so that we can get proper download stats etc. Email me
offlist if you want it.

Regards

Tim
