[Qgis-developer] Roadmap for 2.2

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

It would be fine for me to have another release by Christmas/end of the 
year. In that case, of course the multi-threaded work should be done in 
2.3

However, we should not postpone the multi-threaded work further. It is 
core stuff and has a lot of implications. The longer we wait, the more 
complex, more work and thus more expensive it will be. With the new 
vector API Martin has laid the ground work for the multi-threaded 
rendere, we should not wait too long to do the remaining work.
