> By the way the process to release 8.0 has not changed, we're sticking to

>    7.0 -> saas-1 -> saas-2 -> saas-3 -> (saas-4) -> (saas-5) -> 8.0 ->
> saas-6...

> We'll have to live with 8.0 for a while for on-site deployments!

> As a reminder, the release steps are:
>    1. 8.0 offline stabilization -> bugfixes  <= WE ARE HERE
>    2. 8.0 deployed on Odoo.com (migration) -> bugfixes
>    3. 8.0 deployed on Odoo Online for new customers -> bugfixes
>    4. 8.0 deployed on Odoo Online for all customers (migration) ->
> bugfixes
>    5. 8.0 final release

> We're very close to step 2. Steps 2-4 usually take a month or so for the
