    There have been a lot of good changes since 1.99.3, so
    in the interests of increased testing and, well,
    speedy releases, I'd like to get 1.99.4 out the door
    this Monday.

    1.99.4 will be 2.0beta4. It will the be final beta in
    the 2.0 series. After that, I plan for a series of 3
    release candidates, each happening about 5-7 days
    after each other.

    Tentative schedule and what's allowed to happen:
    Aug 8 <-- today

    Aug 11 <-- 2.0beta4 (1.99.4) [documentation,
    translations, bug fixes, feature polish]

    Aug 16 <-- 2.0rc1 (1.99.5) [documentation,
    translations, bug fixes]

    Aug 21 <-- 2.0rc2 (1.99.6) [documentation,
    translations, bug fixes. All checkins must be sumitted
    in patch form to Dom and Martin]

    Aug 27 <-- 2.0rc3 (1.99.7), tree branches for
    ABIWORD-2-0-0 [*critical* documentation, translations,
    bug fixes. All checkins must be sumitted in patch form
    to Dom and Martin. The idea is that nothing will
    happen in this branch for about a week, ideally.]. New
    development allowed to happen in the HEAD tree without
    permission from Dom and Martin.

    Aug 31/Sept 1 <-- 2.0

    Sept 2/3 <-- Binaries/installers, plugins, press
    releases, website announcements, spam world+cat

    Personally, I plan on fixing bugs and user-level
    documenting nonstop for the next 3 weeks. All of your
    code, documentation, translation, valgrind, etc...
    help is greatly appreciated.

    Best regards,
    Dom
