Hi Aled, I think it's possible to have an alpha release for 0.8.0 by the end of the next week. Soon enough for you?
There are 3 blockers: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-543 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-294 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-295 I will put some extra hours in to get them fixed. Anyone is more than welcome to help. BTW we are also close to being able to build a RC for 0.7.2. Here is the test matrix: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvGPW01Ku6xTdG1ieS1mU3RQSHhkVnFtT2N0Tkd5bnc#gid=0 Tom what do you think about having this alpha release?
