ok, ill make the branch within the next 24h probably We do have several open security issues still though (some have patches on the ML) I still have to check if ossfuzz is hiding any issues in unrelated tickets (ossfuzz did that often previously and this can unveil surprises) Also iam behind with backporting security fixes to release branches, (this may seem unrelated but it isnt because i always try to backport each of my security fixes to all branches we still maintain at the same time, so id like to get the other branches uptodate with backports to keep backports in sync with a new 7.0) All in all, iam not sure I will manage to release 7.0 in 7 days but ill do the branch and we will see. thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. -- Plato
