Hi all, The penultimate release pipeline for 9.8.4 can be found at [0]. Unfortunately, it is affected by a non-user-facing Hadrian issue compromising one of the validation jobs. I have pushed a commit fixing this and have started a new pipeline [1]. Consequently, I wanted to inform downstreams that we are quickly closing in on the final 9.8.4 release. I believe this release has addressed all of the packaging concerns with 9.8.3 including: * manpages are now included in all jobs save CentOS 7. I am attempting [2] to enable Sphinx output on CentOS 7 as well, although there is a significant chance that this will fail due to the old Sphinx version shipped on that platform. If so I suggest that we cut our losses on documentation on CentOS 7; 9.8.4 will already be considerably better in this regard than previous releases in the series. * `filepath` has been bumped to 1.4.301.0 * `unix` has been bumped to 2.8.6.0 As well, I have included two bug-fixes to significant compiler correctness bugs. If anyone has any concerns, please do share them now so we can move ahead with finalizing the release.
