our last CRUX release is nearly a half year ago, so I thought it might be a good idea to think about a new one. Moreover, there are new major releases of all parts of our standard toolchain. Yes, that's indeed a good idea. Toolchain and kernel updates sounds good to me.
Full UTF-8 support comes out of my mind (see our tracker); I lack some knowledge on this matter so I'm not sure if some config option is enough or rather we have to ensure all the ports supports UTF-8 where available. But I am not sure on this point. I've tried to switch to UTF-8 on my personal system some time ago and I had some problems, for example, applications which don't support UTF-8. In the end I've decided to stay with the old charset. It would be nice to get some experiences from people who have successfully switched to UTF-8 yet. Who of you have done this already? Did you have problems?
I also vote for xorg 7.3 (more in my reply to Tilman's post). I vote for that, too.
Finally, I think we'd benefit from setting an estimated release date / period, i.e. the beginning of october is my guess. That's a really good idea, especially if you look at debian and it's sarge release. :-)
