According to the 1.8.2 Milestone[1], we've got just two bugs left open. #668 is probably code-complete, but it sounds like it's waiting for a manual test before we can consider it closed. #585 is waiting one more patch to deal with .tac files. As soon as we close those two bugs, hopefully within the next 12 hours, we'll declare the tree code-frozen. Given how far we've missed the original freeze target, I'm going to push out the release by one week: the new target is 30-Jan (a saturday).
Once we've frozen the tree, all commits must be approved by the release manager (me). I'll create a beta tarball and start asking for increased testing from that snapshot, then I'll be updating NEWS and other release-specific docs files over the course of the week. Towards the end of the week I'll release an RC1 tarball that should have final updated docs for review, and then on the 30th I'll convert that into the real 1.8.2 final, publish it, and unfreeze the tree. We'll also be sending out the call for increased platform-specific testing after the freeze: I'm going to be asking all our platform experts to give me a green-light/red-light for our core platforms during the next week, so get ready to start your testing engines!
