[ckan-dev] Next CKAN stable release

[Sean Hammond]

> After some discussion from the development team, we have agreed to
> skip the 1.6.1 release and aim to release 1.7 version in two weeks
> time. We have a number of exciting new features that need some
> polishing and testing, and that will give us the necessary time to
> make sure they run smoothly. The 1.6.1 branch will be merged back in
> to master before branching 1.7 to ensure we don't lose any changesets.
> 
> The release schedule is the following:
> 
> * From today until next Wednesday 25th April: All devs should finish
> and merge to master any branch that they want to include in 1.7
> (Please test them thoroughly)
> * On Wed 25th April we will create the 1.7 release branch and deploy
> it to TheDataHub for testing. We will also update the translation
> strings on Transifex and ping all our awesome translators to help
> update them.
> * On Wed 2nd May, if no problems have been found, we will tag the new
> release and create the necessary packages. Email to the list and blog
> post should follow quickly after.
> 
> Please share any comments you have.

Great, thanks for this Adria
