Geert mentioned in the Notification Emails thread that he'd like to get 2.6 
released in less than a year, and Christian was pushing to do so this time 
*last* year. On the principle that "Release is a misnomer. Software is never 
released, it escapes." [1], it's probably time to release 2.5.0 so that we can 
at least start down that road. Shall we say feature freeze now, string freeze 
in July, 2.6 release 1 November?

Or is anyone actively working on features that should go in? What became of the 
rewrite of the register to GtkTreeView? Failing that, has anyone taken a shot 
at rewriting it with Cairo instead of libgnome? Note that I'm not proposing a 
Gtk3 migration for 2.6: We're doing that at Gramps, and MSWin is proving to be 
troublesome. In fact, it appears that no one is supporting Gtk3-MSWin at the 
moment.

Regards,
John Ralls

[1] I don't know where that originated. My wife brought it with her from DEC, 
where it was apparently a truism.
