We keep inching closer to making the 8.0 beta release. Today was a major milestone in that we created the webgui-7.10 branch, and merged in all the WebGUI code in the master branch of our git repository.
For those of you with git access, please note that from this point onward, any bugfixing in 7.10 will need to hand ported over to the master branch with WebGUI 8 code. Pay careful attention to the API changes in docs/migration.txt, and the new upgrade script style.
