 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 tip of the 'master' branch has passed v2.0.0-rc1.  Last minute
-fixes to newly added code keep flowing in, which is good.  I've
-picked up some topics that will not be part of the upcoming release
-to 'pu' not to lose them, but I didn't have time to give them a deep
-reading.
+The tip of the 'master' branch is at v2.0.0-rc3, which is in sync
+with v1.9.3 with respect to bugfixes that was also tagged today.
+Hopefully we can tag v2.0.0 final late next week.
