Re: Please release 4.8.15

[Egmont Koblinger <egmont gmail com>]

Hi guys,

Ping - any plans??

4.8.14 is the longest lived release of the 4.8 era despite of its
nasty segfault. I remember the days when a bug like this caused a
follow-up release in just a few days.

Please make a .15 release ASAP!

If there are 2-3 more fixes you'd like to sqeeze in, sure, go ahead
and apply them quickly (and please include #3534 as well).

If there are 10-15 fixes you'd like to squeeze in, please forget it --
release a .15 now and a .16 when you're ready with those!  Please
don't delay the segfault fix any further!

thanks,
e.
