Subject: final pass on release notes....and general status of readiness

Ugh, I am not seeing the email I sent with the finalized release notes. I dunno if I sent it or not because I am having a nightmare with Outlook on Mac eating things and generally not working right.

So, by way of sanity check, attached. The only changes were adding the binutils CVES to Known issues:

binutils: fix CVE-2018-18309, CVE-2018-18605, CVE-2018-18606, CVE-2018-18607

And the gitsm known issue:

- gitsm fixes on master-next:
* The submodule name and path were assumed to be the same, which is not necessarily true.
* Submodules refer to a specific commit, not branch, but we erroneously check against the branch specified in SRC_URI. This results in
failure if a submodule commit is not on that branch.

So, nothing major there. Just really a sanity check on the gitsm wording.

Everything is ready to go. Pages are set and just need to be published. Release announcement is ready. So we just need to do the final mirror and tagging magic, and announce.

If the wording on gitsm issue looks reasonable, we are good to go.

required.

Please add the note that Tip of Thud is not what is being released.

This will just confuse folks trying to connect the dots.

Especially true for the manuals... always go to the website for best set of
manuals.
