Feature freeze still valid - Release plans

Hi all,

A while ago we agreed on a feature freeze so that we could actually
release AbiWord 3.0

It seems that this has been ignored (yes looking at you Ingo).

And this will apply to string freeze.

Here is the idea:

Release of 2.9.4 ASAP.
Fix the various blocker bugs and regression, including Gtk3 that has
some kinks

Try to release 3.0 sometime soon, maybe with intermediate release. I
propose to cut the 3.0 branch for a 2.99 release and use that. Which
mean somebody will have to backport some fix or double commit.

(ie we don't merge from 2.99 to trunk, and fixes for 2.99 are either
ported to trunk or backported from trunk).

Things that can be skipped for 3.0:

-Mac port
-Summer of Code
-non regression bug fixes.

Summmer of Code:

The awesome work from our student isn't ignored. It will be merged to
trunk AFTER the 3.0 branch is cut - conditional to not integration
issues, of course. We can try to use that to release a 3.2 relatively
quickly. Seems like a decent goal.

Any idea, comments?

Cheers,
