there are still 22 issues unresolved. (see link below) can everyone give an update on their situation? what issues can we expect to be resolved still? any issues that you thinkn you can't make by end of today? please give an update of the status.
i plan to make the release branch somewhere on monday. if there are issues that you plan to commit for after today, mention them here. we should make sure that commits next week do not invalidate the testing work that will be done next week on the branch.
