Hey,

> 1.4.5 or 1.5.0?

That is a really interesting question.
I can see two scenarios where a jump from 1.4.x to 1.5.x would be
definitely the thing to go:
1.) there are very important new features
2.) there are fundamental changes to the requirements (like removing support
for outdated libraries, etc)

As already mentioned there are some good new features in svn, but imho
those ones are not enough for scenario 1.
So I personally (from the current development staus) vote for 1.4.5, if
someone implements tabbed playlists it will be 1.5 for sure. ;-))

We could also say "hey, our new release series is as stable as the old one
was :)".

Talking about stability, I can easily reproduce those two bugs:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122002
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136353

I know these crashes only occur in quite special situations but both
already happened during normal usage for me. It would be really, really
great if someone could try to fix them for the next release. I offer any
help I can give, of course.
