= Preparing for 1.6.4 =

WebkitGtk+ '''1.6.4''' will be the next release in the stable series. We should merge not overly intrusive patches that improve stability or performance, fix build issues, etc.

When filing bugs (http://bugs.webkit.org) against stable release, please prefix them with "[GTK] [Stable]" to ensure they are addressed with high
priority. Also, running a debug build and including stack traces is highly encouraged.

To get the stable branch code, simply check out
http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/releases/WebKitGTK/webkit-1.6

Over the next few weeks we'll be merging important fixes into the
branch, so be sure to stay up to date. Thanks for your help!
