[Opensim-dev] Preparing for OpenSimulator 0.8

[Fly Man]

I think sometimes it matters that there's a stable release schedule, Sept
2013 is far in the past and there has been a lot of changes in Opensim
since then.

Strangely enough there haven't been "in between" releases or something like
that. At this moment I think a lot of grid owners are sweating as a new
release might blow their support channels as the users will want to new
features asap.

My advice: Do a "in between" release so people can see the changes and use
the 0.8 release as the large release for a lot of features that people have
been wanting. Use the "in between" to see if there's any large issues
arising.
