Proceeding Scarab Release Branch

Hi all,

after the 1.0.22 release branch has been living for a quite while and 
we/Johannes have put a lot of work in making it (even more) stable and 
ready for rollout over the last year, we like to get a release done. 
 From our point of view it is ready for production. Still there are some 
things to do on our list - and maybe others someone else thinks of need 
to be addressed. So feel free to feed back - quick ;-)

* [Open Defects for 0.22] Issues: There are currently 31 issues, of 
which 9 are Unconfirmed, 13 Fixed and 1 WorksForMe. The remaining ones I 
don't consider release relevant - though, yes, in an ideal world they 
all would be adressed.
* The documentation is reworked/updated already and will be commited 
shortly.
* Internationalization and localization may be reviewed/contributed if 
there is demand. The status didn't changed much related to the previous 
release. Minor fixes/additions/enhancements for German.
* Databases: The release will incorporate some schema modifications. The 
according scripts for MySQL are all available  (update) and up to date 
(new  DB). All other DBMS, namely Oracle, Hypersonic and Postgres, are 
not working for now and even the effort for setting up the test 
environments and performing the according test is currently beyond our 
available time. Nevertheless I would appreciate any contributions here 
and will keep this on the schedule for the future.
* We will perform build/setup and update tests in the next weeks, update 
the 0.22 issues status in the course, prepare and propose release notes 
and after that - if all agree - going to publish the new release.

Another reason to get the release out is, that mainly Hussayn - as far 
as my memory serves me right - has put quite a lot of effort in new and 
enhanced trunk features, and thus we should avoid the trunk getting to 
far from the branch.  And it would be nice to have them in a 
not-to-far-future release too.

So, if there are no objections, we will proceed as described.

Feedback welcome!
