I just pushed V4-rc6. Next week is the last full week before the end of year
holiday time and I expect to be the last merge before I tag 4.0 (which may
happen separately on Monday the 20th). With the final push, I encourage
anyone who has a github issue that has been marked "Needs Verification" to
verify the issue with V4-rc6. Any additional testing folks are able to do
would be much appreciated. Any patches that have been submitted to gerrithub
but not yet merged will need to be wrapped up next week.
Following the V4.0 tag, I will follow our standard practice where I do not
fork off a v4-stable branch for a few weeks which gives the opportunity for
a V4.1 update to include some bug fixes before I start merging new feature
work for the V5 development stream.
Thanks everyone. This has been a long release, but we have made some
significant code improvements and fixed a lot of bugs and we do have some
features of note:
