Hi all, I am currently in the process of preparing our next release in the 9.8 series, 9.8.3. This release will include well over 70 backports. As I am a bit less than half-way through the backport process I have currently scheduled the release date for Wednesday 16 October 2024.
I have included a list of currently-planned backports below (however it is possible that some of those in the to-do section may be dropped due to feasibility). If you know of anything else which you suspect should be backported do let me know on this thread and by applying the usual ~"backport needed:9.8" label.
