Yeah! What is the test and vote procedure from this point? I've checked the commit messages, and none of the files I used in my testing have changed, so I do not see any need to repeat it. On the other hand, we need to allow time for Mac users to retest. On 10/17/2017 8:52 AM, Jim Jagielski

I see 4.1.5-dev as a device for testing whether a bug is due to a specific problem. That change is already checked in to the trunk. We still have to decide whether to go straight to 4.2.0. The upside is, as Damjam points out, that we need to get the general benefits of 4.2 out in the field.
