[Kmymoney-devel] Proposed string and feature-freeze and release date

[Alvaro Soliverez]

Since everyone seems to agree, these are the milestones from here to release:

Monday July 26th: string- and feature-freeze
No string changes unless approved by kde-i18n-doc
No new features. Only bug-related commits are allowed

Friday August 13th: commit-freeze
No commits unless there is a critical bug or a bug that hinders
compilation on a plaftorm or distro
Any commit has to get prior approval on the mailing list from the core team

Monday August 16th: release of KMyMoney version 4.5

Regards,
Alvaro
