Unfortunately there are still delays due to some unexpected things
happening... Though I am still ploughing through backlog. I have
recently posted a few fixes and cleanups required for rc1. Sadly there
are still a few issues which have to be fixed. I am working on them. So,
I hope that in the following weeks we will be able to cut rc1...

If you are waiting for my review please bear with me. I will get back to
you as soon as I can. Though I am mostly looking at important fixes in
first order right now.
