8.6.1 status

Hi everyone, As noted a few weeks ago, the 8.6.1 fork is quickly approaching. Currently the plan is to cut the branch on Friday, 1 May 2018. After the branch there will likely be a few days of bug fixing and clean-up, followed by the alpha 1 release. Let me know if you have a patch which you would like to see included that hasn't yet been submitted for review. Cheers, - Ben
