Hi!

> I think we should release 0.8.3 for mid to end July.
I would like to target Wednesday, 22nd, which means the release must be
tagged on Tuesday. That sounds doable.
Mark: will you be around to produce the armhf tarball?
By then we’ll have to merge core-updates. It’s mostly built on x86
already; mips64el may be largely built by tomorrow, hopefully.

There are missing bits from wip-container. We’ll see whether David can
help with that, but otherwise that’ll be for the next time.

Python people, help!

Fixed in core-updates.

Haven’t checked that yet.
Now is the time to run the test suite and report any issues:

I’ll push an installation image after the core-updates merge. In the
meantime, you can also build it yourself from ‘master’ to give it a try:
