This time is as good as any. There are a slew of build and usability issues to resolve before R14 comes close for consideration for release. > Can it be manageable? Sure. > Which patches to wait? I uploaded a bunch of patches that fix HTML help page installations. Everything now installs in the same location. I'm unsure of a good strategy to back port them all. I uploaded a slew of patches that fix numerous problems with kipi-plugins, digikam, and gwenview. In that latter effort I discovered more inadvertent "TQ" conversions that likely cause occasional breakage. > Already have poised: > + patch to close #372 The patch seems to have resolved the problem here. > + other patches from #675 Fixing the starttde script likely is an ongoing project.

Would be nice if they could be resolved for your release. Some of the svgz background images were duplicated as png images and I pushed those all to GIT recently. > __2__ > Giving an update the new version number? > Apply here mentioned a few times R13.1 (or R13.1.0)? Release as 3.5.13.1 or 3.5.13a. Otherwise many users will get confused. The "R14" versioning system should be saved for when R14 is releases. Press releases will address why we changed the release version scheme. I hope this helps! Darrell
