We've tried to clean up most of the issues marked for 4.5.0. I'd like to call a code freeze for 4.5.0. So no more issues/jiras should be marked in 4.5.0, unless it is really needed (e.g. bug fixes).
Any new features should be marked as 4.6.0. I will work with JV to prepare the 4.5 branch for release. If I miss anything critical that needs to be in 4.5.0, please point them out. Thanks, Sijie
