- Release summary

rc4, rolling weekly candidates
next is due tomorrow, 1 more slot after that to make deadline
after that, slipping
nervous a couple of weeks ago, red from ab,random results from sanity testers
addressed those, builds happier & consistent
bug count going up lately
webhob currently lots of bugs, also website
also bsp bugs, esp freescale, good to see freescale participating
but not reflection on core
bug count down substantially
some giving concern, isolated to corner cases eg only on emulation
no release blockers currently
running another build tomorrow
possibly another rc beyond
big change to plan, webhob not ready to roll into release
plan to roll separate minirelease for it later in next few months
tying artificially to main release points doesn't make sense at this point
