But what I've learnt from updates that involved migrations in the past is that they to require a good deal of testing so I agree with others who said we should do that before putting a beta with it out (provided, we'll wait on Facebook XMPP migration for 1.4.2).

I think we should consider releasing 1.4.2 now. It has a large selection of important fixes - 37 fixes in total - by now:
- MSN UPnP crash: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/14650
- MSN connection issue: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/13654
- MSN issue adding contacts: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/14965
- ICQ losing connection without showing: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/14229
- Hang when opening chat window to a contact with a malformed log: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/14627
- The focus indication people complained about a lot: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/14420
- The broken Events table: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/14629.

Facebook XMPP migration isn't finished and even then it still needs to be merged to the default branch for more testing so I believe we should really move that item to 1.4.3.

I'd like to suggest cutting a 1.4.2 beta this weekend. The only thing that needs to be done until then is this: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/15000#comment:7 which doesn't seem too complicated.
