Summer release

Release themes

Faster and fancier. Focus on performance, eg. application start-up time and boot up. Dedicated team for this (lead by Vesa-Matti).

More applications, better settings. New contributions eg. new Terminal, Package manager, GPRS settings. More community applications (via Cool Stuff page), including Extras client. Fix critical bugs in existing use cases (phone calls, SMS, browser, camera). Dedicated team also for this.

Schedule

Pre-release image available in morning of 23th June, for QA and Midsummer personal testing. Final image available latest on 30th June. Detailed release plan TBD (Carsten, Sage).
