Re: 5.1 release

 

Nick,

I'll push the initial draft later this evening. I figure it will be Tuesday or Wednesday until most of the packages are built and uploaded to the website.

    Thank your Rene and all of the library developers for your efforts.
    This should be the last of the repo tags so lets fire up those package
    builders.  I will finish up the release announcement this evening so
    that once most of the packages are built I can make the release
    announcement.

    Cheers,

    Wayne
