When planning release dates, one thing to consider is how many release iterations we're going to have before Debian Bookworm freeze. Preliminary dates for those freezes: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/03/msg00251.html
3.0.1 tag has been pushed. Git repo is now open for 3.0.2 development.
Let's start tracking (and discussing) progress towards 3.0.1. Most fixes gone in so far have been more of the "low hanging fruit" -kind than critical ones, so we're probably going to let more content accumulate for some time. Making a release is not effortless, and we have number of other things to do as well.

Blockers, or near-blockers:
- Metamessage regressions since freeciv-2.6 affecting public server: #43759 (done)
- Metainfo files compliance improvement. As we largely rely on distributions on this work, each freeciv release is just one iteration -> would rather have it in 3.0.1 and then fixed in 3.0.2, than first in 3.0.2 and fixed only in 3.0.3: #44091 (done)
- Regression since 3.0.0 breaking translations on some (most) setups: #44110 (done)
- Probable regression since 3.0.0 causing msys2 builds sometimes to have outdated translations: #44143 (done)
- Lua method tile:is_enemy() crash: https://www.hostedredmine.com/issues/943039 (done)
