 --------------------------------------------------
 
 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
 '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
 '+' are in 'next'.  The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of
 the integration branches, but I am still holding onto them.
 
-v2.11-rc1 has been tagged.  There might be a few updates necessary
-that remains due to timezone differences, but hopefully this should
-be good enough base.  Thanks y'all for finding and fixing these
-platform specific bits.

 You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
 of the repositories listed at
