[Adrià Mercader]

Hi all,

Next Wednesday 9th May around 13:00 UTC (15:00 CET, 09:00 EST) we will
be releasing the next stable version of CKAN, 2.8, as well as patch
releases for the following previous versions:

2.5.x -> 2.5.9
2.6.x -> 2.6.6
2.7.x -> 2.7.4

Users are strongly encouraged to always run on the latest patch
release for their version, as these include important security and
stability fixes. The latest patch release is the only one supported by
the CKAN team (patch releases don't contain backwards incompatible changes).

More information about CKAN releases can be found here:

Best,
