I have seen that early on you have used sprints, would we be using something like that for releasing? BTW, if we are releasing in the as-is state then regarding my pending MRs, I believe that #128 can be worked upon in the next release as I am not sure if it is useful or feasible in it's current form but I think splitting #129 into two MRs and merging the commit [5c9f6e] <https://forge-allura.apache.org/u/rhnvrm/allura/ci/5c9f6e72f27811d9e120abd19f17bdea2a496820/> that adds metalink into emails can be added to this release and the better subjects part can be worked upon further.

I can try to reach out to their committers with your help if you think this is a good idea. :) > > > > > On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 9:12 PM, Dave Brondsema <d...@brondsema.net> > wrote: > > > >> Our last news posting was back in April, for our 1.4.0 release.
