[tei-council] next release?

[Gabriel BODARD]

Dear fellow-Councillors,

James and I have decided to delay today's release until this coming 
Monday, June 18, to allow a couple of last minute fixes to go in, and so 
that we're not left trying to repair things right before and/or over the 
weekend if anything goes wrong. (This will be release 2.1.0, codename: 
"Earhart's Crossing".)

This means: (a) any tickets you've been meaning to close but not yet 
gotten around to, you now have the chance to do this weekend; (b) nobody 
should commit any changes to the TEI SVN from 09:00 GMT next Monday, 
until given the all clear by myself or James, hopefully later in the 
day. I'll send a further reminder to this effect on Monday morning.

Best,

Gabby
