Here’s my final report for the 3 month fellowship pilot. I hope the DSF’s fundraising efforts will be successful and I’ll have an opportunity to "be back" soon. :-)
On Monday, I reviewed the last couple of tickets before the 1.8 feature freeze. On Tuesday, we had the security release. I’ve been working in the background on putting that release together for the last month or so. The rest of the week was focused on polishing the master branch and fixing regressions to get it in a good state for today's release of 1.8 alpha 1. If all goes well, we’ll get lots of testers and will be able to release a more polished "beta" in about a month.
