Jaap, if I may suggest two issues for the release:

This one affects new Zim users, I have had at least three or more ask
about this:
"User-friendly "Placeholder Page" erase-attempt dialogue"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/550311

This one affects me personally, on an almost daily basis:
"Verbatim formatting lost in [] lists"
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/570615

Thanks!
