7 --------------------------------------------------
8
9 -Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
10 -only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
11 -marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches, but I am still
12 -holding onto them.
9 +These topics in 'next' (ones prefixed with '+') and 'pu' (ones prefixed
10 +with '.') will not be in 1.6.4 final, and are subject to be rewound once
11 +it happens.
12
14 -The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
15 -meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
16 -
17 -It has been relatively quiet for the past few weeks. The 'next' branch is
18 -getting quite thin, and it would be a good time to declare -rc0. I'll do
19 -so by my Wednesday.
13 +We have quite a few solid topics in 'next', so hopefully the next cycle
14 +would be shorter than usual. I'd propose to call it 1.6.5, and then make
15 +the one after that 1.7.0, which means that during the 1.6.5 cycle, 'next'
16 +will have the two incompatible "push" (actually, receive-pack) changes
17 +hitherto kept on hold in 'pu'.
