Hi all I'm in favour of releasing 1.7 now. The release was already planned for March and was shifted then. There will always be a large number of bugs in the queue, even with donations. Maybe we even discover more of them in a beta version :-)
Seriously, 1.7 feels to me to have a similar stability as 1.6 (or even better). I'm concerned shifting the release further and further has a bad impact on motivation of users and developers. Wouldn't it be an option to make a stable branch (1.7.1, 1.7.2) with the possibility for developers to backport bugfixes? Regards, Marco Am Dienstag, 31.
