Hi,
the date of the branch for the 0.2.7-release is fastly approaching. I dated it for Monday, 11.06. So there's still over one week ahead. I please you to stop implementing new features but and finish bigger reorganizations in the code. Keep the checked in code compileable.
If you have issues concerning the date of the branch, post a message.
More or less for my own (but also from comments on the ml) I decided to do a just normal release with normal names. So there will be no "network preview release" or such kind.
