In the interest of getting 3.1.3 and 2.7.1 out by next year, here's a tentative release schedule:

November 13th - RC1 November 27th - RC2 December 11th - Final The last one might clash with the hg migration a bit, do we need to worry about that? Or did you purposely pick the day before the planned hg migration? I'm not too worried. Commits should be at a minimum, and changesets can be tagged post-transition if needed.

I'm worried about build identification. Either the switchover happens before RC1, or after Final. I expect significant breakage from the Mercurial switchover, so that should all be figured out before or after the release.

FWIW, I'm pondering to do all remaining 2.5 release from svn, despite the switchover to Mercurial, just so that the build identification does not get harmed.

As a side note - I don't think two release candidates are really necessary. So if it helps, it may be reasonable to drop one of them. OTOH, I don't mind having two RCs, either.

Regards, Martin
