Hey,

since we are already a bit behind the usual schedule, I am writing this
email to briefly sum up what we are going to do:

The update is already pretty big and comes with all sorts of fixes,
enhancements and improvements. As there are two security-related issues
I want to ship this as soon as possible.

The only things missing are as follows:
 * Arne wants to update the usual databases (GeoIP, PCI IDs, USB IDs,
   etc.) what will be done very shortly before the release.
 * The GET fix for the new Update Accelerator GUI I am still waiting
   for as described here: [1] Jörn-Ingo is there an ETA?

The other changes that are already done are:
 * strongswan 5.0.4 (security fix for EC cryptography with openssl)
 * openvpn: Disabling client connection working again
 * New status bar at the bottom of the web GUI
 * connection tracking list is sortable
 * Various hardware fixes: Intel MEI, PXE installation and USB keyboards
 * rrdtool: Fix monospace font

New packages:
 * sysbench
 * VDR update coming

The schedule (that is to be discussed):
 * Get the final fix for the update accelerator GUI done until this
   Friday (10th May 2013)
 * Upload the update to the testing tree on the weekend
 * Test during the week
 * If everything looks fine, we will release the following weekend
 * If not, fix, have another week for testing, then release

If this is not working for anyone of you, please raise you hand.
Otherwise, please help testing.

-Michael
