Hi, I'd like to remind everyone that the 2.7 development cycle ended at 12:00 UTC. We are now in feature freeze on the road to the 2.8 release on 2015-02-20 http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?p0=1440&iso=20150220T12&year=2015&month=02&day=20&hour=12&min=0&sec=0&msg=2.8%20Release (27 days away; see also roadmap <http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/index#road-map.html>).
Now *we*, *the community*, need to prepare QGIS for release. No new features will be added anymore. *Users*, if not already begun, should now start extensive testing of master and report bugs on the hub <http://hub.qgis.org>. *Developers* should move their focus from creating new features to fixing bugs. *Translators* can can continue their work (we maintain all our translations on transifex now). The nightly builds of QGIS testing available for Windows <http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#windows>, Linux (Debian <http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#id3> and Ubuntu <http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#qgis-testing>) and Mac OS <http://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#id13> are now effectively snapshots of what's going to be released. Except of course for the bugs that are going to be fixed until release day. For Windows there will also be weekly release candidates of the standalone installer <http://www.qgis.org/downloads/weekly/>. Lets keep up working together to make 2.8 another great release.
