My recent travels appear to prevent me from working at my best and focus on getting the release out this week.
I am going to take a day/weekend to rest so I can work better next week. Fortunately, I've been rather thoroughly been testing Covid negative since my trip. While I'll be resting, I will still be keeping an eye on emails and Cherry Pick requests for 2.42.0 that come across my Github dashboard (@lostluck). If you have fixes for any regressions, please do incorporate them into the main branch, and send the cherry pick PR to the release-2.42.0 branch for my review. Thank you for your patience with this delay and release processes will resume in earnest on Monday the 12th PT.
