It has missed 2012.08, I haven't the time to get to it, and now that
-rc1 has been released, we don't accept such changes.

There was a fairly long backlog of patches to handle, and I only had
from July 13th to July 31th to try to catch up. I tried to merge things
fairly aggressively during that time, but didn't manage to merge
everything.

However, while we are in the process of preparing 2012.08, I will open
a 'next' branch in which I will accumulate the patches that will be
merged as soon as the 2012.11 development cycle open, at the end of
August/early September. Therefore, I am hoping to reduce even further
the backlog by merging stuff into the 'next' branch.

Best regards,

Thomas
