Hi Developers,

This is a gentle reminder that MCF 1.7 is due to be released at the end of
August.  Since it is a very major release, I would like to have everything
done by August 7, to give us time to fix inevitable problems that come up
during the release cycle.

I've gone through the outstanding Jira tickets and added comments to each
one.  Please have a look at your ticket and decide whether you will be able
to contribute before the 7th.  Please also bear in mind that all the major
framework changes for 1.7 have been completed now -- I hope -- so things
should be stable from that respect until release.

ManifoldCF 1.7 is the last planned 1.x release.  After 1.7, backwards
compatibility will be broken as we develop MCF 2.0.  In MCF 2.0, because we
are removing backwards compatibility constraints, most connectors will have
significant changes.  So there may be a considerable amount of time where
MCF 1.7 is the most stable release available.  Given that, let's get
everything into it that we can.

Thanks!
Karl
