Thanks Stefan,
I prefer a 1.9.8 release since we are still using Java 6 and we are suffering
from the wrapper script issues.Personally I think the 'new feature'-set is a
bit too small to have a 1.10.0 release, but I can follow Jan to create it
nontheless as a signal.

Thanks for volunteering.
I prefer having a 1.10.0 as a signal "we have a Java8-version".
