[Caminol10n] Camino 1.5.2 and 1.6a1 coming soon

[Smokey Ardisson]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give you a quick update of where we are with new 
Camino releases.

1) Camino 1.5.2, the next security and bug fix release, is almost 
ready.  There are 3-4 bugs left that we need to decide if we're 
taking for this release and then finish the release notes.  My goal 
is to have the bugs and the release notes landed by Wednesday, but 
that depends on the availability of other decision-makers, so we'll 
see.  We should release about a week after that, as long as there are 
no last-minute Gecko changes that require a rebuild.

* Short version: set aside some time this weekend to translate the 
release note changes for 1.5.2.

2) Camino 1.6a1 is currently scheduled for an October 10th release, 
but it depends on two major features (software update and breakpad 
crash reporting) landing for which we haven't had recent progress 
updates, so that date's not going to be solid.  Unfortunately, most 
of the UI/string changes will land after a1 but before b1, but a good 
chunk will be in a1.  Also, since all of the new features that we 
won't ship Camino 1.6 without will land for 1.6a1, there will not be 
an extended period of time between a1 and b1 or between b1 and the 
final release.

* Short version: please start working on your 1.6 translations right 
after 1.6a1, and be aware there will not be a lot of time between the 
string freeze (b1) and the final 1.6 release.

As always, dates are subject to change depending on developer 
availability ;-) and we thank you for all of your hard work!
