Re: v5 timeline

 

Hi,

I "accidentally" made a Launchpad series for v5:

https://launchpad.net/kicad/5.0

I wasn't really expecting to have permissions to do that, but it went
though, so here it is! I doubled down on it and so there's also a
milestone for RC1. Project management people are of course welcome to
assign themselves as managers as needed.

I think we can use these to target important bugs/features to v5, so
we can get visibiliy of what remains to do and people looking to pick
off bugs can have a list of things to hit first.

Cheers,

John
