Hi, we released 0.8 on September 21st. Since then,
- the Linux kernel was updated twice in sid, fixing a great number of bugs and a fair number of CVEs [1] - the infamous .doc importation -related bug in OpenOffice.org was fixed in Debian stable security updates (DSA-2315-1) - iceweasel was updated once in Debian stable security updates, fixing very ugly security issues. The next bugfix release in the 3.6.x branch is scheduled [2] for November 8, and usually lands into Debian two days later. [1] http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_3.0.0-5/changelog [2] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases#Other_releases I think we should release 0.8.1 ASAP, e.g. at the end of next week (that is October 14). If we wait longer, it will start to be worth waiting for the next Firefox security update, and doing so would bring the delay between 0.8 and 0.8.1 to something close to two months, and we'll have enough stuff ready to release 0.9. Which is an alternative, although a little bit sad, in case we are not able to release 0.8.1 soon. While looking at the devel branch for patches I'd like to cherry-pick into 0.8.1, it seems to me almost all changes in there could be worth it. It seems to me more are, and only a few (namely: the move to CookieSafe) seem to belong to 0.9 instead. I have a hard time making an opinion between all or nothing here, and cherry-picking 15 patches out of 17 has revealed painful on the long run in the past. Maybe we should do that anyway, and then move on to get other stuff ready for a quick 0.9 release (I'm thinking of feature/plymouth, feature/tordate and feature/truecrypt-7.1). What do you think?
