Hello all,
I'd like to start the gears turning on the process that will eventually spit out a new 7.8 release. Since I'm new to the process, I'll probably need Peter to show me the ropes. Hopefully he'll see this note and will throw together a brief guide for me and anyone else interested in the release process.
While waiting for the process to be revealed to me, I've started sifting through the commit log to get a rough draft of the release notes. There will probably be a need for some clarification, so expect to be getting a note from me in the near future.
Finally, you should take this message as notice of an impending change freeze on the 7.8 tree. If you have any undelivered changes, please get them in within the next week. Once the release process kicks off, I'd like to limit commits to the 7.8 tree to build/traffic-light related fixes.
As always, any comments or suggestions are welcome!
Bill
