   Possibly.

   Unlikely.  1.1 is going to be released this month and there are too many 
other issues to deal with.  They're also in-line with the main focus of 1.2, 
which is scripting and tools.  Originally scripting was going to be in 1.1 
but due to overwhelming demand for a fast, stable Kst, I'll be releasing 1.1 
without it (by default).  1.2 will hopefully be released once scripting is 
"done".  I do encourage people to test scripting in 1.1 though, and send 
feedback.  Just don't expect your scripts to work without modification in 
1.2.

  Hopefully 1.2.

  Long time away I think....

   I updated RELEASE_PLAN to reflect the estimated dates I will cut Kst 
releases, as well as list the focal points.
