Hi All, I'd like to let you know that we are planning to cut the 1.8 branch tomorrow around 2am PDT. If you think that there any important tickets targeted to 1.8 still open which needs to be reviewed and committed to get into the release, please let us know as soon as possible and we'll do our best to push it through.
The ones which couldn't get committed by the branching will be retargeted to 1.8.1 or 1.9, depending on their type (i.e. bug fixes will be retargeted to 1.8.1, new features will be scheduled for 1.9). For this I'd like to ask our PMC members to create these new releases in Jira, or if it's possible to grant the required Jira permissions to me, I'd be more than happy to do this.
