Some of you have noticed that BETA-1 means feature-freeze. If you have
any features you wanted to add prior to the release. This is why I've
added a roadmap for 4.8 on the wiki[1].

Anything we can't add to 4.6, we can already mention there. Just to
make sure we don't forget and to keep us motivated to get 4.6.0 out
^_^. (because then there will be new stuff... again ^_^)

Cheers,
Stephan
