Hi all,

I'm currently tagging the source base with release_CM3_5_8_RC2.
The reported compiler vesion will be d5.8.2 for this RC.
There seems to be a neverending stream of commits, which makes
it quite difficult to choose a good time to do this, but I hope
that Tinderbox will show no major problems with the tagged sources.

I'd like everybody for the next weeks to postpone their functional
changes and concentrate on testing and fixing bugs that are found
or already known. If anybody knows of any problems with the current
tag we can still move it in places _before_ we build any release
archives. Tagging the whole repository is a quite costly operation
in CVS.

To summarize:

  o refrain from functional changes
  o report and correct bugs
  o don't build any distribution archives until we've agreed we've
    tagged a good source set

I'll perform some testing myself and try to prepare a draft for the
release notes (a lot of changes occured in the recent years) within the
next days.

Thanks for your patience and your contribution,

Olaf
