Please No :)

I am happy about any work that is done, even if it is "some" ui enhancement, even if it is in feautre freeze phase. Because, we are
a just too small community. Most work is done in developers free time. We are providing some kind of a "product" (Pharo), but
it is OUR product, we are mostly "commited to ourself".

So, the most important point isn't a release date, but that we are communicating, discussing, talking about that changes.

Yes, of course, I know it has to be ready at some point, it won't help if we are working on a pre-release version for years:)

Please let us take that changes, hoping they don't introduced new bugs and discussing now everything where we had missed

to talk about.

Having said that.

IF YOU have the time to work on Pharo and would like to do some enhancements now, ok! But try� to step back for one
minute and think to yourself:
are there bugs I can resolve instead?

do some code review instead?

look at the new or really old (maybe all those forgotten) issues on the buglist.

There are plenty of things that have to be done for the release. But of course any other change may be worthwhile
as well (first impressions on UI related things may count ten times more then a handfull fixed bugs).

And if you really want your changes now, make this explicit on the mailing list:
"hey I would include this enhancement now, because ....., would do you think?"
