Just a heads up…
Unless something pops up this week during some of $DAYJOB's internal tests, I’ll likely look at starting the release process next week. Only JIRA issue that I have on my radar to address yet is YETUS-1042, which is a doc patch. (YETUS-1140 and YETUS-1120 are both tempting but probably not particularly critical given how people tend to use the software.) I guess we’ll keep JDK8 for now and just address it next year since a few people have privately mentioned wanting to keep it.
