Personal priorities prevented me from working on these today. I hope to have some time tomorrow to help out with the What's New and Known Issues documents. > First of all: thank you everyone for pitching in these last few weeks > (your CouchDB mugs should be arriving any day now :), it’s been a > great experience <3 My pleasure! :D > 1. we all need to test the tarball and vote on whether they think > this should be released (http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html on > what is an Apache Release).

A reminder that at a minimum this should follow the guidelines set out in our testing documentation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BtndYr-0KDQTqBSLVdJoR_8C5ObYjT1RBo_Qyh5ykdQ/edit https://blog.couchdb.org/2016/08/08/ Any actual in-context testing with your apps, libraries, etc. would be very welcome. File tickets! At this late date we can't guarantee any problems you find will hold up the release, but we want to track every problem you find and triage it for future resolution. > 4. the Windows and Mac will have to be prepared (Win seems all ready > to go, I’ll wrap up the Mac one in time). Yup, Win is pretty much "turn the crank" for me at this point. We also now have the ability to sign a Win release using Apache/Symantec infrastructure so I'll be doing that as well. > 5. we upload all our builds onto the Apache mirroring infrastructure. > We then need another 24 hours to get all Apache distribution mirrors > to catch up with our new files. I'll need help on how to do this for the Win release, or can hand it off to you if creds can't be shared quickly enough. > So: are we ready to roll the tarball?

This is a reminder to myself to bump rebar.config when docs is updated with those final changes. -Joan
