The past few days we've been wrestling (again) with how to best handle
variable names that contain hyphens, and we've decided to issue deprecation
warnings for them in 2.7.  This wasn't a huge amount of coding effort, but
it potentially affects a large number of users so it took some time and
consideration.  The change is related to (#10146) and a paying support
customer escalated this issue, which is why we've been working on it over
the weekend and Monday.

Before the weekend, most of the work in the 2.7.x branch was focused on
improving our Microsoft Windows support.  Andy has finished back-porting
Daniel's performance improvements as far as I can tell.

I think we're trying to get a release candidate out the door today, but I'm
not entirely certain if that's still on track or not.

Unfortunately we don't have nightly RPM builds at this point in time.  It's
definitely on our list of things we'd like to provide.  I may look into
this as part of my community focus, do you think nightly RPM's would help
make community contributions easier?  What sort of things are you looking
for from the nightly RPM's?  A repository?  Channels for 2.7.x, 3.x and
master?  Just master?
