Subject: [Discuss-gnuradio] [announcement] GNU Radio 3.8 Release Candidate 1

Dear GNU Radio Community,

tonight, we're releasing the first release candidate for the GNU Radio
3.8.0.0 release.

You can find it on
https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/releases/tag/v3.8.0.0-rc1
and soon as a tarball on
https://www.gnuradio.org/releases/gnuradio/

This is really a major step. In fact, it's so big, that I really didn't find 
the means to write a sensible CHANGELOG; I'll conclude on the most 
user-relevant changes in the final release's entry.

However, I've gone through all commits v3.7.0.0..HEAD and tried to count the 
unique contributors:

I'd like to announce that we've got a glorious amount of 215 individual 
contributors that added at least one commit since 3.7.0 that goes into this 
release candidate. Johnathan released 3.7.0 on the 29th of June 2013, some good 
six years ago.

To be specific, that's 2209 days from today. Which means that we got one unique 
contributor every 10 days and 6-and-a-half hours. Not too shabby, I'd say, for 
this enormous period of time.

I'm pretty happy to see that the speed at which new contributors find our way 
seems to be increasing these days. We're a lively, high-quality product with 
what I consider to be one of the more healthy communities you'll find in Free 
Software.

Let us ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

Best regards,
Marcus
