It has been a while since our last release and we have a fair number of 
bug fixes and minor improvements accumulated, so it's time for 5.1.3. My 
goal is to have the release out by March 30th, with 2 RCs between now 
and then to let us test everything out.

Plan:
-----------------------

March 9, 2006

Initial RC1, from this point on only bug fixes should go into the 5.1 
branch and I'd like to ask that any major changes (due to a bug fix) to 
the code base are run by me. This means that you have just under a week 
to "sneak in" any remaining minor features ;-).

March 23, 2006

RC2 (final one), only critical bug fixes (security fixes and regression 
fixes) from this point on. If we get any between 23rd and 30th, we'll 
probably need additional RCs.

March 29-30, 2006

New 5.1.3 packaged and released.

------------------------

Pretty short plan, so hopefully Mr. Murphy will not interfere too much 
with its execution ;-).

I have updated the 5.1.x release management page on my wiki accordingly. 
If anyone has any features he is planning to "squeeze" into this release 
please let me know so I can add it there to assist Ilia in the release 
management:

Ilia,

I'd like to import the latest release of PCRE before you roll RC1. I  
should be able to do it before March 9, though.

Sure, I don't see any problem with that.

Sounds like a plan to me.
