Well branches dont make it into releases by themselves, so I think the next step would be a list of action items to break down the task and make it happen I surely will fix known issues or document better when that is found lacking - unsure how to fix a trepidation though, in particular if it's not filed in the tracker ;) suggestion to get the process going: what about tagging/adding the issues you'd consider 'must fix', 'nice to have' etc in the github tracker with (a) new label/s, then it's straightforward to followup and get the boxes ticked - Michael > > My only trepidation comes from the massive infusion of change at the > very end of the development cycle.
