Is there a revised timeline for M4 now ?
Be good to know when the likely freeze will be.
My view is that the freeze has begun and we are now in testing, polishing
and fixing mode. If anyone has a must have 'feature' for M4 that isn't in
yet those can be raised as exceptions and the impact discussed, but on the
whole we should now be trying to close everything down and reach a stable,
well tested point where we can release.
That would be my view as well. As soon as there are no known issues I'll
make an RC. At the moment other than Steve's outstanding changes there are a
few issues that need to be sorted out with SSL on Java.

Rafi,
Just wanted to get an idea of what our timetable for M4 looks like.
Would you agree with the following dates?
Freeze: 23rd
Beta: 30th
RC1: 7th
Release: 14th
For M3 Aidan built some Alpha's to ensure that everything was going as
expected. Are you going to do the same thing?
Yes
I feel that things may have already slipped a week to allow Steve to
get the Windows port fully committed, what are your thoughts?
I agree we're probably a week behind. Judging from JIRA, there are still
a lot of open issues for M4, so I think a Beta on the 30th might be
premature. It's difficult to tell though since many of the JIRAs may be
code complete but not necessarily updated. I think the next step is to
focus on a bit of JIRA maintenance and then figure out our timeline
based on an a more accurate picture of the open issues.
Here's the filter I'm currently using to view open M4 issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12312868
Note that there may be M4 issues not in this list if they aren't
properly marked with a version.
