Dear all,
I would like to ask for a feature freeze for the Org-mode master branch
until about July 18.
During the period I would like to ask the committers to only
process bug fixes (and only reasonably simple ones) and
release-related stuff like Makefile issues, doc fixes, typos etc.
Please
also check the issue tracker if you want to help fix a small issue,
there
is also documentation stuff that needs to be done.
This will give me the breezing space to put together the 7.01 release.
Of course, in a git environment, this does not at all mean that
development
has to stop - it only means that new features will not be merged into
master
during that period.
One the 18th, I would like to release 7.01 and shortly thereafter
install it into
the Emacs repository.
Thanks a bunch.
- Carsten
P.S. Eric and Dan, please decide yourself how to get to
a good and stable state in this time frame, babel integration
is by far the biggest thing in this release.

Hi Carsten,
I'm looking forward to a feature-quiet period of stabilization. There
is one more large Babel change before 7.0, namely the integration of the
safety measures currently living in the "safety-babel" branch [1]. I
think that it would be best if these are merged into Org-mode at the
start of this feature freeze so that they can be tested during this
period. Please let me know if this sounds good to you, and if so I will
send out one last email alerting Babel users to the requirement for a
configuration change [2], and then merge in these two new commits.
Thanks -- Eric
Footnotes:
[1] http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode.git/shortlog/refs/heads/safety-babel
[2] I do apologize for the number of configuration breaking changes
that have been made to Babel recently. I know the pain of starting
up Emacs, running into an unexpected failure, and then having to
make time to trouble-shoot before you can actually get any work
done.
Once this merge is over I see many months of smooth Babel sailing
on the horizon.
