The major refactorings planned for 8.0.x are complete. There are a few minor refactorings that can either done before the first stable release or (if they turn out to be a little bigger) left until 9.0.x.
Therefore I have the following tentative plan in mind: - start the next 8.0.x RC release process shortly - release the next 8.0.x RC early next week - allow a week or so for further testing - wait to see if anything is badly broken - fix what is broken - if nothing is too badly broken, release 8.0.0-alpha If everything thing goes to plan, we should have a 8.0.0-alpha by early December.
