It is december, i will thus soon make the release/5.0 branch

also a name needs to be choosen for 5.0
previous unused suggestions where:
Von Neumann, Lorentz, Poincaré, Desitter, De Broglie, Gauss, Galois, Viterbi, Darwin

Feel free to reply with name suggestions
If theres a tie then i will randomly pick amongth the tied, i assume all previous
suggestions where suggested exactly once already.

plan of the next steps is after release/5.0 branching to make the relase a few
days afterwards. 

If you know of any major issues which need to be done before the release do them
now. If you know of any issues which are release-blocking list them in a reply
here please.

thx
