I agree with Peter that it is better to release early and often. If the
next release does not work for Windows/Mac users, then they can stay
with the older version until the problem (whatever it'll be) is fixed.

One valid reason to delay a release is that testing actively happens
and/or regressions are known which are considered release critical and
there is a solution in sight.

With libical, both is the case right now: I am still testing it on Linux
with EDS/SyncEvolution *and* the TZID problem is still open. See my
other email on that.

So let's focus on that and release in about a week?
