== Release Schedule for 2.4.x releases ==
 
  
We don't have an actual schedule. We only know we plan for a stable 2.4.x release every 12-16 weeks in order to make available the bugfixes and translation updates.

* Make KVP a backend implementation detail; no direct KVP access except in the backends
 +
* Limit use of Guile to reports and F::Q; all other main application code should be C or C++.

  • Make KVP a backend implementation detail; no direct KVP access except in the backends
