I'm looking into the unit tests.
We should get open diffs accepted or rejected/postponed.
Also I propose we make a beta release together with string/feature freeze,
then branch when we do the final release.

Ok, unit tests fixed,
There are a few on BSD that fails but these are just sanity checks for i18n, in case somebody does something 'stupid' with some Message.sh file, so I think we can live with it pt.
Seems BSD tail command is missing the tail -n +NUM variant so...

Nothing much has happened lately, so...
I propose to create a beta release tomorrow,
with a final release Thursday 23th unless something serious pops up.
This means feature freeze from tomorrow, and
string freeze from Thursday 16th.

If nobody objects?

i believe Carl's been doing some stuff already, and as we had a bit of a chat about it on the promo chat last week, i'll tag promo in as well :)

With the promo group we were talking about doing an announcement tomorrow. I already started a draft for the announcement: https://share.kde.org/s/gd2zkasmPZqZqsE (feel free to add any important features to it) and the full list you created will be added as a link for the people who are interested in seeing all the changes.
