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.

Since there is again less feedback than what we need to go on with this update, I am going to revert the update accelerator stuff so that we can release this update earlier.
