 --------------------------------------------------
 
 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
 '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
 '+' are in 'next'.
 
-An extra release candidate -rc4 has been tagged and pushed out.
-Hopefully this will be the last one before the final release of
-1.8.4.  As I expect we will have two more cycles of 1.8.x by the end
-of the year and then 2.0 early next year, we may want to merge these
-"for 2.0" topics to 'next' for real, starting the next cycle.
+Git 1.8.4 was tagged and released recently, and we will shortly go
+into a new development cycle for the next one, likely to be 1.8.5.
+
+I expect this cycle to conclude at around the end of October, and we
+will have another release by the end of the year.  The first release
+in the coming year may be named "Git 2.0" with the promised
+compatibility breakages.
