Hi Good to see the team managed to get it out on time (proving that moving to a 4-month cycle was the right decision).
A number of urgently needed new features are included, even if a lot of stuff recently were pushed to 2.28 - I just hope the team had enough time to iron out all/most of the bugs we've seen in 2.27 trunk recently ;-). Well done - and enjoy a few "utepils" (= drinking in public for those speaking Trollish) over the weekend!
