Here it is: the second Release Candidate for Subversion 1.8.0. You can fetch the proposed tarballs from here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/subversion
The magic rev is r1482456 This is a release candidate, meaning if all goes well it (or something very much like it) will become the final release. Please test this as if it were the final release, understanding that there will be bugs in any software we ship. <insert lecture about perfect being enemy of the good here> To all distributors and binary packagers: This isn't the final release. It *won't* be the final release for a few weeks yet, so please don't ship it as such. In any case, don't distribute any releases based upon these tarballs until we complete our signature gathering process and officially announce the release. Reminder that the STATUS file is still for 1.8.0, please be careful about moving changes to the approved section and only move changes that appropriate to be merged at this point (i.e. changes that would not restart our soak). If we have changes we want to put into 1.8.1, it's fine to put them in the STATUS file and vote on them, just please do not move them to the approved section. It may be helpful to refer to this section of our documentation when determining what can done to the 1.8.x branch during our soak period: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#release-stabilization
