Hello folks, So I just finished putting up the 2.7.0-beta1 files to the Evergreen website's download page. Here are some direct links as well for different 2.7 beta1 preview files so far:

This is also an opportunity for developers/reviewers to work on bug fixes and for DIG members to work on documentation. NOTE: One special exception was granted to provide additional testing opportunities for the web-based staff client circulation module preview. This new feature depends on a brand new version of OpenSRF (the upcoming 2.4 version) and we allotted additional time for its testing before merge. The web client preview is the only new feature that will be part of the next pending milestone, which is the 2.7.0-beta2 currently scheduled for next Thursday August 21, 2014. I think that we are well on track towards an on-time release next month, September. I'd like to thank everyone who's participated in the ongoing testing, documentation, and other work completed thus far. Keep up the good work everyone!
