Yes, 1.4.2. It is a bug fix release. No new features.

The 'fixes' branch only contains bug fixes. So almost all
changes to resourcestrings are either fixing typos of the English
version or add new error messages.

Waiting a week means translators and maintainers must work with an
additional branch.

I'm not sure if it is worth the hassle. Maybe Maxim who applies the
biggest part of the translations can tell.
