ETA on this?

[wesleytodd]

I think we can probably get this out before the end of the month. I will work with @bjohansebas on it.

[kapilaggar]

Is there any ETA for new release?

[radiantstatic]

Very excited for this - huge! Any chance we'll see it released soon?

[bjohansebas]

@wesleytodd are you going to release this today?

[wesleytodd]

Yep, this was on my list, but now that I am seeing it I will just do this one next.

[wesleytodd]

Ugh, I forgot this is one of the old repos that doesn't follow the proper tagging with the v prefix. I am going to push both tags, but it feels like we should use the convention going forward. We can easily fix it either way, so if we think here is more to discuss we can later.
