Hi,

We didn't have time to discuss this yesterday, but we need to have a schedule... I propose:

String freeze May 1st
Alpha release May 8th (tagging May 5th)
Beta release May 15th (tagging May 12th)
Final release May 29th (tagging May 26th) -- this might be a bit tricky, since I will travelling that week to LGM, on the other hand, releasing during LGM could be fun.

We have the following blockers:
-------------------------------

* No Python support in the appimage. We still cannot make Krita find PyQt, even though it's built correctly. I'll be looking into that again this week.
* Building the appimage dependencies is broken because of issues between fftw3, pthreads and gmic-qt. I'm looking into this as well.

* https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406494 (Unable to edit vector selections with Edit Shapes Tool )
* https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404552 (Safe Asserts triggered while drawing. )

We have the following known regressions:
----------------------------------------

* https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404133 (Artifacts when painting in RGB 32-bit float/channel )
* https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403576 (Cannot edit transparency masks as greyscale images when using pixel brush with wash mode. )
* https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399751 (SIGSEGV when converting a Local selection layer to Transparency mask )
* https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399749 (Crash when converting a Transparency mask to Selection mask )
* https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399170 Palette docker no longer allows changing the size of the swatches. 
* https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396815 (Transform mask in file from 2.9.11 not loaded properly in 4.1.1 )

If you know of other regressions are sure-fire release-blockers, please mark them in bugzilla, after discussion on IRC.
