Hello,

On the release-team mailing list we are hashing out a plan to postpone the 
application freeze date until the release of beta2.  This is currently 
scheduled for Aug 20th, but it may slip a bit.

While the decision has not yet been finalized, it looks like we still have 1.5 
to 2 weeks to get new features in for 4.0.0.

Note that the messages freeze is supposed to happen on that date also.

We should compile a list of things we want to get into the 4.0 release, and 
decide what is realistic.  Here's what I'd like to see:

+ (James) HTM and SkyLabeler
+ (Jasem) DBUS interfaces working, including the ScriptBuilder tool
+ (me) All Calculator modules updated to simplified layouts, including batch 
modes.
+ (me) Use Quaternions instead of spherical trig to project the sky (much of 
the infrastructure is in place, but I'm having trouble getting it working.  
I've asked Torsten (author of marble) to help me with my implementation).

Anything else?  Do we have enough time to get these in (it doesn't have to be 
perfect, we can bugfix after Aug 20th)?  I'm not sure I'll have time to 
finish the Calculator, but I'll do my best.

regards,
Jason
