Dear all,

I have tagged a beta of the next RDKit release here:
https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit/releases/tag/Release_2015_09_1beta1

The relevant section of the release notes is below. Note that the list of
people in the acknowledgement section was mostly created automatically from
github. If you feel like I missed you, please let me know so that I can
update the release notes before the actual release.

I will try to get windows binaries up in the next few days, but I'm not
sure this is going to happen.

Unless major problems are found, I plan to do the actual release in the
next week or so. Between now and then I hope to get a few more bugs
crushed, but there shouldn't be any additional feature additions.

Best,
-greg
