Hi,

I'd like to remind everyone that the 2.11 development cycle ended yesterday at
12:00 UTC. We are now in feature freeze on the road to the 2.12 release on
2015-10-23
(http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20151023T12&p0=1440&msg=QGIS+Release+2.12&font=sanserif&csz=1)
(27 days away; see also roadmap
<http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/index#road-map.html>).

Now *we*, *the community*, need to prepare QGIS for release. No new features
will be added anymore. *Users*, if not already begun, should now start
extensive testing of master and report bugs on the hub <http://hub.qgis.org>.
*Developers* should move their focus from creating new features to fixing bugs.
*Translators* can can continue their work (we maintain all our translations on
transifex now).

The nightly builds of QGIS testing available for Windows
<http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#windows>,
Linux (Debian and Ubuntu)
<http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#debian-ubuntu>) and Mac
OS <http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#qgis-macos-testing>
are now effectively snapshots of what's going to be released.  Except of course
for the bugs that are going to be fixed until release day.  For Windows there
will also be weekly release candidates of the standalone installer
<http://www.qgis.org/downloads/weekly/>.

Lets keep up working together to make 2.12 another great release.


Jürgen
