1.9 on the 19th; freeze 10 june (this wednesday)

2009-06-06 Thread Andy Wingo
Hey folks, After talking with Ludovic I think we're aiming for next friday for a release, 19 june. In order to test thoroughly, I'd like to put Guile master into "freeze mode" this Wednesday, 10 June. What does that mean? It means, between 10 June and the 1.9.1 release, no new code should go into
