Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to get a feel for what is left before we can release 5.0.2.
I'm hoping we can get this out soon because I would like to announce the
string freeze for 5.1 by Thanksgiving.  I noticed there are a few
outstanding critical bugs (although I believe one of them has already
been resolved) that need addressed.  I would like to move forward on
this in the next week or two. Please let me know if this isn't feasible.

Hi Wayne-

I can fix the ratsnest this week. The eagle import crash is, I think, addressed already by the packaging.

The KDE error [1] is a bit less tractable. It is a bad interaction between our data and Klipper (the KDE clipboard manager) and possibly the secondary plasma clipboard. A real fix here may be simple and it is eluding me or we may need to selectively disable the clipboard for KDE window managers. I should know more this weekend.
