Re: next release, I think we should do one in the near future, but I'd
like to see some outstanding PRs merged first. I have the following
preliminary wishlist:

a) Decide what to do about no-reinstall patches (merge/no merge for
the time being/wait for Duncan to finish his new hotness).
b) Merge gen-bounds (#2774) (modulo bikeshedding).
c) Merge #2732 and #2731 (Andres's solver improvements) - needs
tests/testing. Maybe someone can help Andres on this.
d) Merge your constraints-file patch (#2820) - haven't had time to
look at it yet, sorry!
e) Test the HTTPS code, esp. on Windows. Can be done as part of beta.
See also #2764.
f) Merge #2522 (**/* globbing) in some form (requires some work on my part)
g) #2829 - Thomas's reconfigure work. Not yet finished AFAICT.
h) init-config/'user-config init' command - IIRC there are two PRs
implementing the same thing.
i) Merge Edsko's foreign library patches (#2540). IIRC, they are good
to go but need rebasing.

Hopefully haven't forgotten anything!
