Well, you can obviously judge that best by yourself. The string freeze 
on Oct 27 should really be observed. If you can really finish the 
addition of the feature freeze by Oct 27, then that's great. The rest of 
the year we'll probably be busy enough to fix the bugs in the features...

Another thing with libOFX: I understand that the ongoing work will 
require changes in the libOFX code, so updates in gnucash will also 
require updates of the libofx installation (that's what CVS is all 
about). Nevertheless, could you please try to release libofx tarballs 
each time we release a gnucash-1.7.x tarball? That way, the gnucash 
tarball is at least compilable with a well-defined version of another 
tarball. (On the other hand, I know that OpenHBCI didn't observe this 
for the 1.7.0 release, too, but we'll fix that today or tomorrow and 
release the tarball of the required version of OpenHBCI. :-)
