well, I would love to have a release, or at least a freeze of Gem.
(the official debian package is a CVS snapshot too, which is not really optimal).
For that to happen we need someone that takes the lead, and this is supposed to be Johannes.
We really should think about getting to a release before the busy times start again ..

...so where are we?

I think the scenario for doing a release would be the following: - freeze the current code (no further additions !) and branch it. This way we can still add new features, but not in the release candidate.
- work through the pix_ objects. Those that do not support RGBA and YUV won't go into the release.
- documentation update
- testing, testing, testing, testing,
- release
- fold back bug fixes and documentation to the development branch.
How does that sound ?
Greetings,
Guenter
