I'd rather not, since there is a difficult merge on the other side of the 
release and I won't have the time to help Alexandre with that in 2 weeks if 
we wait that long =(O|  I really need to finalise 1.4 so that I can 
concentrate on my book for the Summer.

How about this:  I'll release 1.4 this weekend and make a maintenance branch 
so that Alexandre can make the first MLB merge.  If you find any bugs after 
that, we can fix them in the maintenance branch and release 1.4.1.  I'm sure 
we'll get a much bigger response to my call for testing on a 1.4 release than 
we did with 1.3d, so I expect that a 1.4.1 release will be needed inside a 
month anyhow.

Comments?

Cheers,
        Gary.
