master state / potential release

[Nico Huber]

Hi all,

I haven't tracked all recent development closely, so here's a quick
question to everyone currently working on the master branch:

How is the current state wrt. to stability and a potential release
from the master branch? Also, how does it look compared to the state
half a year ago? I know some issues were fixed, but also new ones
came up. What do people think, are we closer to / farther away from
a release now?
