</span>Okay, let's do it! The branch QA_4_6 is now there.<br>

<br>
</span>Marking open issues which we should fix for release is good approach.<br>
I've already marked some things such.<br>

<br>
</span>Doing 4.5.5 sounds like a good idea. There are some fixes in the QA_4_5<br>
branch. Also I think we've started quite late with feature freeze, so<br>
maybe we can adjust 4.6 release to monthly schedule as well? So how<br>
about shifting it to 22nd March?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That sounds reasonable. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<br>
</span>That sounds pretty much correct. I've created the QA_4_6 branch right<br>
now. I'm not sure if we want to start with -rc or rather -alpha now...<br>
