  There will be a -rc1... soon.

  Part of the issue is that a number of rare, but serious issues were
discovered late in the release cycle.  Arran and I both have had other
work.  So fixing the issues has lagged.

  I've pushed some fixes this week.  There are 3 issues left.  One
already has a verified fix, which just needs to be pushed back.

  I understand.  I'll focus the first week of September on closing all
issues for 3.0.
