There's no time scale at the moment. Development is in a slightly odd
place; I've been thinking that the 1.6 release series will be the last
Gtk+ 2 releases, and in theory any shiny new features for Gtk+ 2 users
should be in place before that branch happens. Of course, features
need someone driving them, and we're lacking in someones.

Releases in the 'development' series tend to happen whenever I think
things look alright. Things looks alright at the moment, so if it
would be helpful then I guess there could be a 1.5.2 release around
the corner. I'll try to look into it sometime in the next week or so.
