Re: Time to start the PR machine

Have we alerted the press about the number of 8.0.x downloads? That is the most newsworthy item over the past 6 months.

This does seem like a good idea. I know that Coverity wanted to do
something about their results anyway.

I'll work on it and bring something back.

So, if we're cutting that out of the press release, can someone draft me a
paragraph about "other nifty stuff" for the end of the 8.1 PR? Or maybe
we should focus more on the performance improvements?
