All - Update: We are still working on this release. I anticipate looking for a stable checkpoint, which likely be Friday, Feb 28th at 9am PST.
While I would like to have a better result, it appears that we are unable to use the time machine to go back and do the needful thing. We did not enforce a one ticket means one commit or one ticket means no more than four commits. Going forward, let's try to have the tickets reflect what the commit is doing. So, we have 35 tickets and 350 commits, which is not a good way to have traceability from tickets to commits, but at least all commits should have a reference (still verifying that), and we will work to provide "pretty good" release notes. We will also endeavor to have - this time around - the documentation to be generated for the release. So, please stay tuned. Again, please see below for the official notice of this upcoming release... I am the release manager.
