The tip of 'master' branch is tagged as v1.5.0-rc1; this means a few things: - The focus is shifted to stabilize 'master'. Fixes to what are already there are very much appreciated. - I'll change my $PATH to use the 'master' version, not 'next', for my own use until v1.5.0 final. I ask people who usually follow 'next' to do the same so that we can catch breakages on 'master'. - No new features nor major changes, whether they have been cooking in 'next' or not, will be merged to 'master' until v1.5.0 final. I might drop patches on the floor that are not meant for 'master', although I intend to try hard to keep up with whatever the list comes up with. Tonight's update merges a handful remaining topics from 'next', along with fixes and updates directly applied to 'master'. * The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement.
