Jianqiao and I worked today to merge some PRs that we thought should go in the first release. Accordingly we have created another candidate.
As per Apache, *we require 3 +1 votes* from project members to make this an official release. Before voting, please test the release (build, run ctest). For a guide on how to test, GOTO release/README.md This vote will remain open for 72 hours or until we find issues that we can quickly correct and create another candidate. more details on https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/QUICKSTEP/How+To+Release --Marc
