When it's ready, which isn't now.

was a release plan i wouldnt need to ask this question.

Not RCs now, but I do publish release warnings. We don't have a large
enough userbase to warrant RCs as those who care are already following the
development in CVS.

Release plans don't exist for the same reasons above, and in my case, I
release a new version depending on the state of development. In this case
where there aren't any security fixes or major bugs, because we're adding
smaller bug fixes or features, I will release a new version of FVWM when I
think it's ready, and the features in CVS have sat there long enough for
someone to have tried them.

I've still got some miscellaneous module code to commit, which is what I'm
holding out a release for.
