Rangers, As planned earlier, ranger-2.1 branch is now in lockdown mode to prepare for 2.1.0 release. Only release blockers should be considered for merge in release-2.1 branch. Please send a note with details of the JIRA and patch to the dev list. I will merge the patch in ranger-2.1 branch.
I plan to send a release-candidate for vote next week, on Aug-18. I ask the community help the release by taking time to validate ranger-2.1 branch, and report release-blockers if found.
