Hm, you're right, we're sorry. What a stupid idea to have a short string 
freeze for yet another stable release, how can we even expect others to also 
change 2 strings within 5 minutes. We are so stupid and ugly.... Unbelivable!

Maybe we should start the 2.0.0 freeze right now, after all it got even more 
changed there....


BTW, the mail should have arrived earlier, but as I wrote, it got stuck in 
approval system.
