not, at least it's good you know :D

So let's go with  
 * Jan 23            Poppler 0.13.0 (0.14 Alpha 1)
 * Feb 28            Poppler 0.13.1 (0.14 Alpha 2)
 * Mar 28 (+4 weeks) Poppler 0.13.2 (0.14 Beta 1)
 * Apr 11 (+2 weeks) Poppler 0.13.3 (0.14 Beta 2)
 * Apr 25 (+2 weeks) Poppler 0.13.4 (0.14 RC)
 * May  9 (+2 weeks) Poppler 0.14.0
