Okay, so now that 1.8.0 is wrapping up, I'd like to push out a release of 1.6.6, and plan to cease active development on that branch.
This will allow us to focus our development and bugfixes on the latest releases, while closing out the 1.6 line with a rollup of the bugfixes we've worked so far. Does anybody wish to act as release manager for 1.6.6? Perhaps somebody who hasn't done a release? If not, I'll volunteer to take it on, but I want to give somebody else the opportunity first. Currently, I see around 50 issues for 1.6.6 in JIRA. I've bumped a few already, so there's only a few left, which could be bumped or not, depending on if they get finished quickly.
