Hi everyone, ... just because I saw a bit of back and forth on the mailing list: those who need a hotfix release including the devs that provide pull requests should sync with me to get this right.
Manoj and myself will have a session on how to set up your dev environment for proper releases. Interested parties can join (I'll publish details when I know them). We'll also discuss how to follow proper procedures (most importantly: first announce then create eventual release branches). Note: admittedly the documentation on this subject is still a bit thin, but we still have to create the first one (probably some details will change if we see fit). I'll update the current documentation based on the session with Manoj and answer any open questions. Note II: there is a "1.7.1" release tag... consider this invalid; we are currently preparing this release the proper way. Just FYI. Cheers, Aleks
