Last merge from master -> 4.6 is done (cb97b2ee97a8fddbd94699ebfdf32d2127948aa4).

4.6 is in feature freeze now. New features go to master.
Please start polishing 4.6 for the beta in 2 weeks.

Happy hacking, Eike

On the positive note the plan is to have a “normal” cycle before 4.7, and a bit more time between 4.7 and 4.8 feature freeze which is over the summer time, and a 4.8 release that is not quite so much near the end of the year.
