I'm officially announcing that Monday May 26 will be the release of
the first RC for exim 4.83 and the codebase will go into feature
freeze until the final release. This gives devs 13 days from now to
get new features merged in. After Sunday May 25, no new features will
be accepted but bugfixes will still be accepted. Since the build farm
is up and running (albeit mostly on various linuxes), the expectation
is for a short release cycle of 2 or 3 weeks.

We do ask that if you have the ability to please download and at least
build a copy of Exim with your normal settings to make sure that it
builds without complaint. If you can test it, that is even better.

Devs, if you have any outstanding bug entries, please push over the
next two weeks to try and get as many of them knocked out as you can.
