Hey all,
It's release day and so here is v2024.07. Due to some last minute testing, a problem was found with the zlib update and the safest path (given how long we've been behind) was to revert and fix it for v2024.10. Once again I want to thank everyone that's contributed to this release, not just in terms of code, but documentation, testing and otherwise ensuring things go as smoothly as they can.
In terms of a changelog, git log --merges v2024.07-rc5..v2024.07 contains what I've pulled since the last RC or: git log --merges v2024.04..v2024.07 for changes since the last full release. As always, more details in pull requests (or the tags referenced by them) will result in more details here.
The merge window is formally open again, and I'll be merging in next shortly. v2024.10 is scheduled for Monday, October 7th, 2024 and the merge window will close and -rc1 will be released on the 22nd of July, and then the next window will open with -rc2, two weeks later.
Thanks all!
