We keep receiving bugs or forum entries against "latest git" (crash, odd 
behavior...), this because "master" branch is still GLSL work that I can't fix 
& maintain (my GPU support for OpenGL 3.1 is buggy, and so many changes 
occured that I couldn't follow)...

I'm about to ask KDE sysadmins to move "master" to a "GLSL" branch (work in 
progress) and put back the branch from v0.9.8 ('next")...
just like last year for the "refactoring" branch :-(

This will break the git base for people still working on "master" and 
unfortunately drop some unrelated works (I tried to cherry-pick as much as 
possible).

If you are against this move, please raise your finger quickly (24h?).

And please from now on work in branches as long as your code is not usable by 
testers. Test it a bit on your side, and also on a 2nd PC or by someone else 
before merging?
