Dear All Well its been a long while (too long for some, not long enough for others I guess) but it is time to wrap up 1.8. Some people have asked that we do release candidates etc and generally take things a little slower before labelling 1.8 as 'stable'. To that end, I will aim to do one or more release candidates before the final 1.8 release. I would like to do the first RC release during the Lyon hackfest so we need to kick things into gear:
* if you have any outstanding features or api extensions (no breakages please) that are not yet patched / backported into the 1.8 branch pleased do so as before 31 March 23h59 GMT 2012 to make sure your features make it into the release. * string freeze will take effect from the day before the hackfest starts i.e. 11 April 23h59 GMT2012 after which point only bug fixes will be accepted in the 1.8 branch. * I will put out the RC during the Lyon meetup, and we will allow translation contributions and bug fixes to continue until the point where we decide we are going to put out 1.8 final Does anyone have thoughts on a nice name and logo for the 1.8 release? Candidates might be Lisbon, Zurich, Lyon or something different?
