Hi all,

There have been some problems discovered in rc1 that prevent us from
releasing it as final (xfwm4 and libxfcegui4, I believe).

To be able to have the best release possible, Olivier and I agreed to
have a deadline of friday 18 July (this friday) to find and fix
last-minute bugs.

I will then prepare new tarballs for rc2 on saturday morning. Then
we will test them during the weekend and build binaries. Then on sunday
Olivier can officially upload the release to SF.

Because Olivier is out celebrating 14 Juilet I thought I would send this
email now so you can mentally prepare for the new release cycle.

Let's get those final wrinkles ironed out.

The difference with rc1 should be quite small. The reactions have been
mainly positive, I believe.

PS
It _would_ be nice if we could find out were the broken library
versioning problem came from. Should we bump the version to at least be
higher than the latest know broken version (0.5.0)? Probably too hackish
