I thought about these great features which we added since 1.0.0 too. Actually 
most of the features which we want to have in 1.1.0 are finished or nearly 
finished. If that would be not the case I would even think about releasing a 
"developer snapshot". Much days have passed since 1.0.0 - too much.

- I have to kill the wrong error messages when someone "cuts" a mp3 or vorbis 
file on the fly. They don't stop the burning process - they are just 
confusing.
- I want to improve the audio options dialog
- a change CD dialog when using the same CD drive for reading and writing

What top tasks have still to be done?

BTW, I get some complaints from meinproc at the moment.

I hope we can get the rest of features ready in time. But I want to make a 
release now ASAP.

We should burn CD-Rs of the most common types (mp3,ogg,wav , 1:1 copies, 
ISO9660, multisession) in on-the-fly and normal mode too before we release 
1.0.9. I have a CD-RW here and will run the complete set - but it would be 
great if a large part of the tests could be run on other hardware.

That is one week before my birthday :)

When is the best point to switch to KDE 3.0 CVS? after we branched for 1.1.0 
the HEAD branch could be used for this. If we are not too busy with bug 
fixing we could switch before 1.1.0 - if KDE HEAD is stable enough. 

Are there any schedules for KDE 3.0 final yet?
