Packagers, please package up Pre3 if you have not already done so as a practice run... and honestly, I think it would be safe to plan a release for next week (between Monday the 5th and Friday the 9th), provided packages are available and no new issues arise.
Do you have any news about the state of OS X 10.4 Tiger builds since 0.47pre1?
There has been one tiger-specific bug reported with 0.47pre1 that unfortunately didn't get much attention, but IMHO impacts its usability: Not only the integration with the system clipboard (i.e. X11) is reported broken - the internal clipboard seems limited to bitmap copies only.
This issue looks unrelated to the known clipboard bug on Leopard+ which only happens with recent X11/XQuartz versions >= 2.3.2 (bug #307005).
OS X Tiger uses an ancient version of Apple's X11 (1.1.3, based on XFree86 4.4.0). I could not find any hints whether the new system clipboard integration code was ever tested in Tiger development builds.

Are the plans to fully support OS X Tiger still current?
