Commits\nprefixed with '+' are in 'next' (being in 'next' is a sign that a\ntopic is stable enough to be used and are candidate to be in a\nfuture release). Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen', and\naren't considered \"accepted\" at all and may be annotated with an URL\nto a message that raises issues but they are no means exhaustive. A\ntopic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of\nno activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests\narise).\n\nLet's wait for gitk and possibly po/ and delay the tagging of the\n-rc1. Many people are already offline for the end-of-year holidays\nand it is a slow week, and 'master' front has too many new things\ngraduated from 'next' a bit too early for me to feel comfortable.\n\nExtra testing the tip of 'master' before we actually tag it is as\nalways very much appreciated. Right now, the optional meson-based\nbuild does not pass gitweb tests, IIUC.\n\nCopies of the source code to Git live in many repositories, and the\nfollowing is a list of the ones I push into or their mirrors.
