[Kst] Re: Kst freeze tonight

[Barth Netterfield]

OK: 

-We can consider the docs frozen as of now.  We can target doc improvements 
for 1.1, depending on manpower.  As there haven't been many important changes 
since 0.99 that need to be documented, I guess this is OK.

-There are a couple late changes that *might* effect 1 or 2 messages within 
kst.  But we will be in total freeze end of today PST....

Since more than 1 week has been requested by the i18n team, I suggest we do an 
RC1 (with incomplete translations) this Friday, Nov 8 that we can use/test in 
BLAST and Planck next week while we wait for the release.  Once RC1 is out, 
we should branch and open HEAD to commits for 1.1.

How much time does the i18n team need?  Is Nov 18 a good day for the formal 
release?
