Hi, the only critical blocker left on the release is the keyboard/mouse detection problem in qemu. There are a couple of other major issues related to the installation in qemu, but if they aren't solved by january, I'm ok to release with them.
LiveCD is going to be partly broken too, because hardly any application starts in it, but I don't have time to fix this issue (if anyone volunteers - feel free to).
The CursorIcon problem would be fun to have solved too (hint: janderwald & shell32).
With the best regards, Aleksey Bragin.
