Release status

[Alexandre Julliard]

Folks,

I'm pleased with the progress we've made since code freeze started, with
about 40 regressions and many other bugs fixed. Thanks to everybody for
taking the time to fix them!

At this point it looks like we are running out of easily fixable bugs,
so my plan is that rc4 is going to be the last release candidate, and
that 1.8 will be released next week.

Note also that rc4 is going to be a little delayed since I'm travelling
on Friday; it will be out during the weekend.

Thank you all for your help!
