2.6 release made, 2.6.1 will be made in 1 week, if you have any tested
bugfixes you have maybe 6 days to backport to release/2.6

there is no strict cast in stone release date, so i do not know
i wanted to do the release soon, i do not know if that will work out
there are still some things i wanted to test which may delay things

but if things are all working and tested we might release tomorrow or
it might be in a week, i dont know

Since it not having been part of a release was an argument for allowing to
break API to fix the default for writing the colr atom (which a number of
people found more sensible), it would be nice to have that in before,
because otherwise that argument would no longer hold after 2.6 is out,
resulting in a rather bad situation with both options in there for a while.
How much time would there be to submit a patch that changes the default?

VP9 asm by Ronald that made the codec usable on x86_32 and also pre-ssse3 CPUs 
like Phenom (Even dual core Athlons can run 1080p 30fps VP9 content now). 
Pretty 
good argument to convince Google and Mozilla to use ffvp9 IMO :P.
HEVC improvements could also be mentioned (C and asm performance improvements, 
and monochrome sequence support).

I might help writing the RELEASE_NOTES. Anything not present in the
Changelog that I should mention? Particular optimizations, area where a
large amount of fixes happened (and are not going to be backported), OPW,
or other various project changes?

BTW, do we want to encourage occasional contributors and companies to
contribute more by mentioning them in a thanks section? Quickly skimming
through the history I see NVIDIA, Samsung, Collabora, ... What do people
think? See the bottom of http://i3wm.org/downloads/RELEASE-NOTES-4.9.txt
for an example (yeah I know it's not the first time I pick that same
model).

Last thing, anyone to have a look to FATE and see if something is relevant
for fixing before the release? I see that hevc still seems to fail a test
with threading for instance. Don't we want to get this fixed before the
release?
