I am in two minds.

On the one hand, I know that there are still outstanding issues in the
GUI particularly with the import feature.    On the other hand I know that 
several rather serious GUI issues which affected the current released
version have been fixed, particularly those which some users had
reported as crash-on-save.

I suppose the overriding question when deciding whether to release or
not is:  Will the new release behave better than the existing release?

The GUI is ultra difficult to test in a systematic way.   We have put
out a number of appeals for people to test pre-release versions, but not
many people respond to those appeals.  So perhaps the best thing to do
is to release, and wait for people to report the bugs they think
important.
