​
OK, I'd like to inform you that these dates are now official since nobody
objected:

 - string freeze: Monday Sep 12
 - beta1 release: Monday Sep 19​

A i18n-related note is that kdb/kreport/kproperty are all using Qt's i18n
facilities while Kexi is using and KF5's one. It's assumed to be working
combination but testing for corner cases would be good. Any repors like
missing or invalid use of Q_DECLARE_TR_FUNCTIONS is welcome too.
