I'll add the task list later. I just want to converge on the approximate date. I would propose early/mid April, after ICCV and IROS deadlines if I'm not mistaken.

I'm also looking to converge on the essential features to be released. I'm aiming at finishing the C++14 migration, or getting close to.
