Hi, As outlined in this post http://tinyurl.com/2qs943 the build/regression issues that came up recently are now worked out. The downside of this is that the remaining regressions should be taken seriously. That being said at some point we need to ship. For this reason I think the deadline established in the aforementioned post is a good idea. So by Mar 1st the RC_1_34_0 branch will be frozen and all remaining failures will be marked expected. I will be trying to release RC1 the following weekend. Please could everybody have a long hard look at the remaining regressions and try to clear as many issues as possible before Mar 1st. Comments?
