it was some time since the last "official" release, partly because nightly builds and svn mirror with policy of "stable trunk" serve community needs good enough.
With such slowed down release frequence, I believe it might be a good time to get back to "season number" releases and I guess it is a good time now to release 11.10.
Now the question is what is missing. I guess we should fix to bugfixing mode and resolve some release policy issues.
One question is what to do with rainbow. It is a great addition to U++ (I hope), but it has little practical uses for release users.
