1.8-stable has been branched in the four core Foreman repos.
There are still a few largish changes I'm expecting to land in develop
and probably the stable branch, especially around networking, so please
do continue working on them and merging into develop. I'll be trying to
minimise string changes while cherry picking so we can freeze those for RC2.
Thanks to people who have helped with triaging Redmine tickets against
develop and getting the issues sorted. Any triaged and targeted for
1.8.0 will show up on this list: http://bit.ly/172VbxZ
The 1.8 manual has been created, and this ticket lists some of the tasks
outstanding. I'll probably work on the bulk of the release notes and
headline features next week. Please feel free to PR anything you see on
the list.

Puppet modules we can release (the next minor/major versions) at the
start of next week too, a couple of days before we tag the installer repo.
It looks like a Hammer release is imminent too, which we can include
either during the RC process or .1, depending on when it drops.
I'm going to be off for the latter half of this week, so will be aiming
for RC1 to be next week (commencing 2nd March) or the week after,
depending on how everything goes (e.g. setup for packages, stability of
develop).
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns over issues/inclusion
of fixes.
