We are indeed releasing a new version :) I think freezing the release this weekend was a good choice. Because of some content that cannot be publicly disclosed (PPMC members can find it in the private mailing list), I still have some PRs that need confirmation.
Thanks again to all the contributors and mentors for their help, and thank you to Ian for volunteering to be part of this project release.
