The blockers in the STATUS file are now merged. This leaves Issue #4560 and
Bert's 2 changes that can't go into 1.9.1 or later. Bert's changes look like
there's a significant possibility they will be approved soon. I was somewhat
hoping to roll the RC1 today but I think I'll wait a bit longer for those two
changes.
However, I think we should just punt on Issue #4560. It looks to me like
either a documentation bug or an implementation bug. The contents of a hash
are not something that I'm inclined to believe should hold up a release. So if
someone knowledge on this issue can chime in and give some opinions it would be
appreciated.
The other issue that exists but isn't really documented in STATUS or the issue
tracker right now is the issue with SWIG 3.0.3+ and the Python bindings. We
discussed this on IRC today. We have a few options available to us. Make
configure refuse to work with SWIG 3.0.3+, putting some somewhat ugly changes
into the bindings to deal with the problem, or doing nothing and telling people
to use the generated sources included with the tarball if they have a newer
SWIG. My inclination is not to hold up RC1 for this. It is something we can
put in subsequent RCs if we have them or subsequent 1.9.x releases.
