I think I found a solution.  I can tag commit
090073cc3b79f4f646f3c82390eb02a253e488d8 as 5.1.4.  No translations are
required so we should be able to tag the translations, libs, and docs at
the same commit as the 5.1.3 tag.  This would only require updating the
builds and stable release announcement.  Unfortunately this doesn't
solve the assertion issue on Fedora.  If I include the commits that fix
the Fedora issue, we will have to wait for the translations because
there are a bunch of string changes after commit
cf949609b25a43b66b985baab8ae5354ad8510ae so including them would push
back the release significantly.  If there are no objections, I will tag
5.1.4 today so we can get moving on a new stable release.

Cheers,

Wayne
