Hi

A short update of the upcoming release:

There are still outstanding issues that prevent going forward with the release (see https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Release_coordination for current information).

The most important are:

- Some McLachlan testsuites are still failing. Peter wasn't able to find  time to look at it, and won't have for the coming week. We need a
 volunteer to work on these. This is ticket 1995.
- ExternalLibraries/MPI prevents Cactus from linking if built from the  thorn-sources, on (at least some) Linux systems.
 The issue is described in ticket 2049.

Note that this has a straightforward work-around -- pass the respective options manually. This short before a release, I recommend going with a work-around instead of modifying Cactus's internal mechanism, which might break things.

- Both SphericalHarmonicReconGen tests fail, for at least apparently  different reasons (but since one is a segfault you never know)

Otherwise, the tests seem to run fine, on the few machines I've tested them on. We obviously need to test a lot more machines, which is also still out-standing.

Frank
