Great, I think it is time to have a new RC, given that a number
of blockers for the previous RC that was canceled have been checked in.
This way
everyone running tests can be using the same proposed release.
At this point I don't think the deadlock issues are worth holding
up a release for, though I would still hope they are high on
everyone's radar.
Does anyone consider anything in the current 10.8 branch a blocker
for a release at this time, assuming a RC made at this time passes
community testing?

Hi,
Rick has backed out the fix for DERBY-4437.
I'm running nstest on a couple of machines and - of course depending
on the results in the next day or so - I hope to make a new candidate
release on Monday, October 10, 2011.
I'm not updating the wiki pages just yet...
I believe most fixed bugs that are suitable for backport have been backported.
I only have the following possibles:
DERBY-3823 - NullPointerException in stress.multi test
The fix hasn't yet been checked in, but this might be nice to
avoid this old intermittent test failure. Is this change suitable for
backport or could it cause incompatibilities?
DERBY-5427 - I think Kathey is on this. Would be nice to have, but it
only affects ibm 1.7 users and only in specific situations.
Any issues anyone is working on backporting?
Regards,
Myrna
