&gt; Hi everyone,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; As noted a few weeks ago, the 8.6.1 fork is quickly approaching.<br>
&gt; Currently the plan is to cut the branch on Friday, 1 May 2018.<br>
<br>
Silly me; the above is supposed to read &quot;Friday, 1 June 2018&quot;.<br>
<br>
Sorry for the confusion!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
- Ben<br>
