+Hi Gang;\r
+\r
+It's been a while since we had a release. There are some ABI breaking\r
+ideas around, but I think it makes sense to release and then forge\r
+forward with those.\r
+\r
+Since I'm moving at a pretty slow pace these days on notmuch (and\r
+everything) I propose the following schedule:\r
+\r
+ Feature freeze: November 8\r
+ Hard freeze: November 22\r
+ Release: November 28 (approximately)\r
+\r
+Feel free to start tagging things as notmuch:0.17 in nmbug if you think\r
+they can be squeezed in the next few weeks.\r
+\r
