[QGIS-Developer] QGIS 3.0 Soft Feature Freeze

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Tim,

yes - and we already spent approx. 2/3 of our dedicated 3.0 bug fixing 
funds (including some expected pending invoices which I should receive 
in the next couple days). See also 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F6v4g8Ayb3wIt73rxFKD8h4B95MaTwt-eDit8YvReB0/edit?usp=sharing 
for what was done regarding the paid bug fixing programme.

Funds are not unlimited, unfortunately, so if you want to work on behalf 
of this bug fixing initiative, please contact me upfront to check if 
funds are still available. I am going to publish the financial report 
next week - it is almost finished. Still waiting for some invoices from 
work done last year.

crashes are just as bad as one usually looses project configuration 
during the crash.

I agree. Better stick with Jürgens schedule. I think our releases are 
already often enough. Besides for those who really need them there are 
nightly and weeklies. No need for extra releases.
