Doing a 0.186 release on Monday

Doing a 0.186 release on Monday

[Mark Wielaard]

Hi,

It has been 5 months since 0.185, there have been ~70 commits by ~15
people, with ~15 bugzilla entries closed. There is always more to do,
but I believe current trunk is in pretty good shape. A lot of work was
done to get the debuginfod tests stable, so that they can always be
ran and make check should always be green.

If there are some last minute fixes you believe really should go in
before 0.186 is released, then please sent them to the list asap. But
we'll try to do the next release in less than 5 months, so there is
always next time.

Cheers,

Mark

I wanted to check some proposed patches and it took a bit longer to
test the LTO fix than anticipated. Given that Monday is already almost
gone lets push out the release to Wedneday to give the last few
changes a little extra testing time and have some extra time to review
other proposed patches.

Cheers,

Mark
