Progress Update:

I've resolved all the issues originally on the 3.7. milestone. I've processed the backlog and de-milestoned anything we're not actually going to close this time round.

We now have a small hit list for the 3.7 Milestone. We'll see how we go. I hope to get all of those. Any help appreciated. 😀

Great work :)

@carltongibson @tomchristie

Any news about the real time support? It seems a very exciting feature.

[tomchristie]

@bluesurfer -There's some rough future plans around that, yup, but we're focusing on improving the schema support & API docs for this release.

So, when is the 3.7.0 expected release?

@anshengme Next week.

(I'm looking at Monday 2rd. I'm happy for that to slip to Tuesday if there's loose ends. Even then there's no point rushing it. If I were you I'd just think "Next Week". But I'm looking at Monday to get most of it done.)

You can always install off of master if you're in a rush. 😄
