Hi all, I agree with Chris on option 1).
We should always aim for the most stable release possible. Part of that is to add more automated tests and to get our human testing better organized. I think releasing a beta will mean that we will end up pushing risky things to that version, because there will still be time to fix it. So it will take even longer, until we reach a stable release. Also, if something is named "beta" or "RC", I think we are unlikely to get libraries to use and test it. So it looks to me like we would be losing time and losing 2 releases that could be great. Going into feature freeze earlier like suggested as option 1) is only about announcing too - it requires no change at all, not even a change in naming. And whenever we announce freezes - it will always be too early for some features and things we wanted to do for this next version.
