I've got trunk passing distcheck now, so I'm going to bump and tag tonight and release tomorrow. Here's my NEWS item. Did I miss anything?

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.5.0,
the first release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.6.0.
This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.
Robert Fewell has contributed a rewrite of the ledger
(Gnucash's primary interface window) to use the GtkTreeModel
(select "register 2" from the menu) as well as a new CSV
import/export facility for account trees.
Gnucash now requires Gtk+-2.24 and GLib-2.26. We've removed
most of the dependencies on libraries obsoleted by project
Ridley and will in position to move to Gtk+-3.x once the
GtkTreeModel register window work is complete. This means
that Gnucash 2.5 requires Debian 6, RHEL 6, or one of the
more aggressive distributions like Ubuntu.
Gnucash now works with Guile-2.0.
The business module has been revamped and we introduce a new
feature, Credit Notes. It is now possible to import customers
and vendors from a CSV file as well.
The "Num" field is now optionally per-split rather than
per-transaction.
When opening a locked "book" one now has the option of
opening it read-only. Note that Gnucash is still a
single-user program and that the databaase backends are still
used only as a data store.
Gnucash is no longer subject to the "2038" bug, so that
30-year mortgages can now be entered correctly.
By agreement of all authors we have relicensed Gnucash to the
Gnu Public License Version 2 or later from just Version 2.
