   - MingW32 compiler support (Coupled with the open source Qt4  
Windows library

This is also an announcement of a string freeze and a build system  
freeze (both short of finding errors in the  text or the build  
system) so translators are encouraged to start translating now, and  
packagers to test their build systems ready for release.


So, go enjoy yourselves.
