ok I've set the dates in JIRA.

However I've delayed the XE 1.3RC1 release by one day since it's going to be hard to release on Monday. We still have the following issues:

1) Toucan 1.1 needs to be released first and it still has issues with IE
2) The build needs to be fixed (the XWiki Syntax page isn't XHTML valid)
3) Cannot rollback first version - http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2134

And lots of changes have been introduced recently that need to be more thoroughly tested (with automated tests).

Thanks

Hi,

I'd like to bring forward the release dates for XE 1.3 final, as  
follows:

* 1.3RC1 - 25/02
* 1.3Final - 3/03

I'd also like to create a branch for 1.3 since it's now in RC stage  
and trunk will become 1.4-SNAPSHOT so that committers eager to work on  
1.4 can start doing so and so that we're not tempted to push non bug  
changes in 1.3...

The reasons:
1) We're ready to release it barring any regression we have introduced  
(which will be fixed in 1.3RC1)
2) Some of us are eager to work on 1.4 (like JV who's working on  
performance improvements for ex) :)
3) I'd like to drop support for 1.2 ASAP since it's hard to support  
several branches at once. When 1.3 is released it means we will be  
supporting 1.3 and 1.4 but no longer 1.2 (since our standard rule is  
to support 2 versions - Of course anyone is free to support whatever  
he wants but this is our general rule to make it easy to progress in  
our devs).
4) 1.3 hasn't had any major changes since 1.2 and thus should be  
pretty stable

Here's my +1 to both the new dates and the branch creation.

Thanks
