I'm planning on starting the dance of the seven release tarballs Tuesday morning AU time, which is more or less 0:00 Tuesday UTC. Assuming that no-one objects to this timeframe, could people be extremely conservative with checkins on the branch for the 24 hours before this? I'm going to be starting to cut test release tarballs probably some time tomorrow and building it on as many platforms as I can ssh to easily - I can make this available to other people if they want to help test, or if they've got some sort of strange version of Unix (Irix and HP/UX are always good ones to check for platform oddities).

Um. Has someone done the 'reading through cvs logs' ritual for 2.3.1? It's tedious, but valuable. In particular, I'm not certain all the results of the refleak fixing spree got backported, and some of them should probably acquire NEWS entries. I'm not sure I want to promise being able to do this in the next twelve hours...

(If anyone wants to review the _hotshot.c patch attached to bug #808756, that'd be grand, too).

Cheers, mwh
