Dear all,

in the past few weeks the coming release has been mentioned in passing several times. So far the precise schedule is not clear, but just from the distance to Isabelle2013 and the amount of material that is about to be finished for Isabelle2013-1, it has to be rather soon after the summer.

Since Isabelle is a huge and complex system, things that are relevant for a release need to be known well in advance. (Even such seemingly trivial reforms like subscripts in identifiers have taken much longer than anticipated and are not finished yet.)

So the time to point out further issues or pending projects is now -- apart from the well-known HOL-BNF and PIDE improvements that are already underway. In general there is no reason to rush anything on any particular release train, since they are rather frequent anyway. A release is a limit point of consolidation -- the really new things happen after it.
