Due to the issues exposed in the "Official warnings policy?" thread, there will be a second 1.41.0 beta, tentatively scheduled for Sunday, November 15th.
Until Saturday, November 14th, the release branch is open for merges of low-risk bug fixes. In particular, fixes that clear compiler warnings are encouraged.
I don't think this is a great idea at this point. I believe that the criteria for a release is that the release branch is strictly better than the last release. Setting new goals/requirements at this juncture will start a whole new round of delays and pleas for "just one more thing".
I must agree with Robert here. Let's stick with the original plan, get 1.41 out, and *then* figure out what to do about the warnings.
Does anyone want to argue in favor of a second beta?
As soon as the final release a still a couple of days away to allow testing the OSX 10.6/ppc64 fix I've just committed to trunk, it does not seem like second beta is much needed. - Volodya
