RM has announced the very-soft freeze starts from March, so we should start to work on the new release, and make sure the new libsigc++ migrate to testing before July, when the full freeze begins. > If you want to help out, please do so.

But it seems no ABI changes happened, so it should be source compatible (any breakage other than deprecated api should be bugs) and there is no shared library soversion bump (as it is still unversioned). I suggest an upload to experimental ASAP to help testing.
