We've got horiz / vert max'n regression, and focus-revert issue (I'm not sure at all with the status of the latter; it's hard for me to follow the thread of the argument ;), but will there be a postponement of the release, or the date is hard-wired-iron-solid? The problem is incricate, especially for the focus problem. We shouldn't jump to a wrong conclusion in the "eleventh nanosecond". One safe way is to fix the release date, and decide *now* not to incorporate the focus patch. Thus we can avoid the risk of taking wrong solution. But this is obviously not recommendable - the quality is definitely lowered. > ... Should I release a RC now? Or are you all patient enough to wait > another 17 days? It's better to have an RC (= release candidate, I suppose everyone knows), and let them try. And if you do it, please attach a line, 'even a simple line, "I installed, and seems fine for 3 days" helps a lot!' With best regards, Teika (Teika kazura)
