As we talked before [1], I am going to start the push for 2.7.1 [2]. Here are the things I am going to do, with help from others in the community - Review current 2.7.1 content to make sure only bug fixes went in - Review 2.8 to see if any important bug fixes didn't get merged into 2.7.1 - Send notes to downstream projects to see if they can pick up 2.7.0 mainly with a view of catching incompatibilities/critical issues
If you feel like there is an important fix that you need in 2.7.1, please mark it so on JIRA so we can coordinate the release timeline. Also, it will be great if other community members share their testing results on 2.7.0 +, so that we can settle on a stable 2.7.1.
