It would really help if you could spend the time NOW to make sure everything is where it is with the daily builds.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">My hope is to get 4.9.7 out over the next week or two at the most. I will post a release announcement draft, push latest strings for translations, and do all the other things that I shouldn't forget to do, assuming I don't forget to do them :-)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks to all of you for your continued support and help - I can barely do this WITH all of you, I certainly couldn't do it without you.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">/D</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
