Gosh how time flies.  3.5 is nearing the end of its security maintenance period, and as such the patches have slowed down.  But we got a couple recently--all having to do with web technologies--so it's probably time to make another release.  I propose to release rc1 in two weeks, and final two weeks after that.

Specifically:

   Sunday Jun 28 - 3.5.9rc1
   Sunday Jul 12 - 3.5.9 final

Of course, since we're in the security-fixes-only period, these will all be source-code only releases.

Let me know if this is too soon for you.  My suspicion is it's no problem.  It's mainly one developer filing security patches for 3.5 anyway (hi Victor!) and I'll contact him directly to make sure.


3.5 will be 5 years old this August, at which point we'll formally end 3.5 support.  I expect there'll be only one more release after that, 3.5.10, and that'll be it.  At which point, at last! you'll be rid of me as a release manager!  Surely on that day the programming world will breathe a collective sigh of relief.


Best wishes,
