[Opensim-dev] Any objections to starting the OpenSim 0.6.8 release process?

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Sounds like a plan - let's go ahead with starting the 0.6.8 process and do a 0.7 
once we've completed the transition to ROBUST.  To me, a 0.7 sounds like 
something that would happen early next year - I'm not sure one would want to do 
another release before the holidays.

God willing, I'm going to pick out a revision to branch from some time tomorrow 
(Thursday) and do the necessary paperwork (change version numbers, add suitable 
fields to Mantis, update the wiki, etc.) to start the ball rolling.

Ai, thanks very much for the offer of test assistance, I will be taking you up 
on it.  Any other help that folks can render will also be very much appreciated. 
  The aim will be to spot complete showstoppers, fixing other bugs will probably 
have to wait.

Also, I'm still not sure why you have the messaging server to user service 
connection problem in

http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=4351

It's one of those problems that is hard to reproduce.  Maybe they'll be some 
time to do analysis work in the next few weeks since it is a showstopper bug for 
you.  Even more so if anybody else is suffering from the same problem.
