Uhm, the thought alone of making a "release" which still has known bugs 
makes me choke ;)
Even though I am not actively contributing to the nagiosplug project, I 
still feel the urge to
express my thoughts about it. Imho it's a majorly bad idea to release a 
code as "stable",
even though you know there are some - maybe even critical bugs - in it.
It will greatly reduce the trust the users will put into the nagiosplug 
project.
What will people think that see "oh, a new release", download it and 
notice there are loads
of bugs in it? Not all users of Nagios monitor this list and may not be 
aware of what they are
diving into.

I'd really advise you to reconsider releasing 1.4 in the current state and 
rather fix the bugs
that are still in the code. Freeze the code, don't apply any new patches 
for new features, just
do bugfixing of the old ones.
