There is no more fixes coming now. We are stable.

There is no such thing. We agreed that all features may be done during  March, and it happened. In 
last 14 days few issues were found, and those were fixed. (not in hurry as it seems, but with less 
"it will wait to tomorrow (or second timezone)" thoughts ;)

The date is not artificial. It is in purpose. There is always work to do, but soemtimes it just need 
to be said stop and release. For this, plainly psychologically (IMO) the date is a good thing.

As for now - 1.4 really was important. 15.4.2014 is next scheduled Oracle CPU for OpenJDK. It will 
keep people around Openjdk busy at least week prior, and at least month after.  So not releasing (At 
least week) before, means one more month delay.

Also with every CPU there is an risk destabilization of ITW.

Oh no, I agree with you- at 100%!. And I'm to be blamed. ITW should be released more often and more 
in peace then it is now. Unluckily, I'm failing in this task.

If you get scare by my "status of release" sort of spam, then it is just because I had a lack of 
feedback from release-related people.  So I was at leas trying to dig one :)

Oh it *was* reviewed. I have checked redundant/not translated keys and verified random messages. 
Well appeared to be ok... To read it all? Ugh :( Not with my skill in German if this is what you are 
pointing to.

Sure! I think there is no need to delay DE because of PL, but on the other hand I'm happy thay you 
are taking the care for them and so for those coming together. The need to push someone else patch 
is rare, and I'm not fan of it.

I'm branching the itw 1.5 now, however, not tagging, nor releasing. Just posting pre tarball and 
testing it and whatever stuff around.

For you the only difference is to push your localization to both HEAD and future 
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/release/icedtea-web-1.5 branch.

Of course anybody else can backport from head to 1.5.... if you do not wont to bother with it.

Best regards from CZ, looking forward for PL and DE, crossing fingers for 1.5 ... well all the best :)
